A major incident has occurred at the Port of Algeciras, where a tanker truck carrying liquid carbon dioxide overturned spectacularly. The event has mobilized emergency services and caused concern in the vicinity of the port complex.
Images from the accident show the truck completely overturned, with the liquid carbon dioxide cargo visible. The exact causes of the accident are still under investigation by the competent authorities. Emergency teams quickly arrived at the scene to assess the situation and ensure safety.
These types of incidents, although infrequent, require rapid and coordinated action due to the nature of the cargo. Liquid carbon dioxide, while not flammable, can pose risks in case of leakage or improper handling, such as asphyxiation by displacing oxygen in confined spaces.
