[Reporter Liu Xiaoxin/Changhua Report] At the intersection of Binhai Road and Meigang Highway in Hemei Township, Changhua County, there was an incident of a chemical tank truck full of 19 tons of liquid ammonia overturning this morning. The driver surnamed Zhan had a zero alcohol test. It just overturned, but fortunately there was no leakage, but because liquid ammonia is slightly corrosive, inhaling too high a concentration will cause slight burns to the lungs, the police dare not take it lightly, and are on guard at the scene.

Lin Shixing, the leader of the fifth team of the Hemei Police Branch, said that at around 8:30 this morning, a 35-year-old man surnamed Zhan was driving a chemical tank truck, passing through the intersection of Binhai Road and Meigang Highway in Hemei Town, heading towards National Highway No. 3 Hemei Interchange , it is suspected that the weight of the car body plus the liquid ammonia carried exceeded 30 metric tons, and it overturned due to the centrifugal force due to inadvertent turning. The department is sending someone to deal with it.

Lin Shihang said that fortunately, the driver of the chemical tanker was not injured, and the alcohol test value was zero. The overturn accident still needs further investigation. Since the liquid ammonia carried is a necessity for many industries, although it has not leaked out, it should be avoided. Police are also at the scene.

Due to the overturning accident of the tank truck, a large crane had to be dispatched to the scene to tow it. There was only one lane left to pass through.
