Oil spill on Mumbai-Pune expressway; traffic disrupted
A Mumbai-bound tanker carrying oil overturned near Khandala spilling oil.
An oil spill from a tanker on Saturday resulted in disruption of vehicular traffic along Mumbai-Pune expressway, causing inconvenience for commuters.
The traffic was halted after a Mumbai-bound tanker overturned, spilling oil near Khandala during early hours on Saturday, making it risky for the commuters.
"The traffic was restored in the afternoon after putting a layer of loose earth on the affected surface," police said.
However, a serpentine queue of vehicles was moving at a snail's pace because of the backlog that was being cleared slowly, a passenger said.
