A truck collision in the eastern province of Anhui killed two people and led to a chemical leak, local traffic police said on Thursday.
The accident occurred around 6:30 a.m. on Wednesday in Bengbu, which is in the northern part of the province on a highway linking Nanjing and Luoyang in Henan Province. A truck rear-ended a tanker truck carrying cyclohexane, a toxic chemical that can cause irritation to the eyes and skin.
Two people died on the scene and another was injured. Local traffic police and fire fighters managed to cap the leak. Investigations were continuing.
