On Tuesday, a milk tanker crashed on the N22 between Boewingen / Attert and Bissen.
The accident happened shortly after midday; the milk tanker was carrying a load of circa 9,000 litres of milk when it skidded off the road and into a ditch. The milk spilled and entered a stream which fed the Attert river.
The driver was able to free himself from the vehicle and sustained what were described as minor injuries.
The voluntary fire brigade service from Boewingen / Attert prevented the further leakage of the milk and a specialist vehicle pumped the remaining milk from the truck. The damaged truck could then be recovered. During this, the road had to be closed to traffic.
