Saarlouis: gas bottle damaged in traffic accident: shops cleared

After a traffic accident involving a truck loaded with gas cylinders, some business premises in Schmelz have been temporarily cleared as a precautionary measure. "The operation is complete, there is no longer any danger," said a police spokesman in the afternoon. Possibly due to a "health condition", a driver with his minibus got into the oncoming lane and collided with the truck. "A gas bottle was damaged, the escaping gas was contained by the fire brigade," said the spokesman. 28 firefighters and 9 vehicles were involved in the operation.
