Concerned about the possibility of an oil spill, local authorities are seeking immediate help for a heavy equipment to pull the tanker from the spillway.
PAGADIAN CITY — A tanker truck carrying 20,000 liters of gasoline is currently stuck in a riverbank in Baliguian town, Zamboanga del Norte province and needs heavy equipment to be extricated.
In a social media post, netizen Fel Mar said the truck partly fell off a spillway in Madom village around 5 a.m. on Thursday, while en route to Baliguian town to deliver gasoline to a Caltex gas station there.
The driver could have missed the spillway ramp while ascending from the river as its water swelled.
