A crash involving an oil tanker and another truck resulted in an oil spill that left vehicles queuing up on an expressway in northern Vietnam on Saturday.
The accident took place at 12:30 p.m. on the Hanoi-Thai Nguyen Expressway, which connects the capital with the northern province of Thai Nguyen, the Transport Newspaper reported on Saturday.
The two trucks were seriously damaged following the crash.
Oil from the tanker caused a severe traffic jam on the expressway, forcing authorities to redirect vehicles.
