Dramatic accident Thursday, March 4 on the A29 motorway. A truck carrying 12,000 litres of Gin Beefeater caught fire. According to the first observations, the fire would have taken at the level of the axle, before spreading to the trailer of a total load of more than 40 tons: it begins to make Gin !!!
The emergency services were then alerted a little after 5:30 am, the highway had to be immediately cut off just after the toll gate of Aumale. The firefighters immediately had the information of the nature of the cargo and apparently intervened in record time, certainly in order to save as many bottles of Gin as possible!
Unfortunately once there the blaze was already substantial, and the liters of Gin that flowed on the road did not stop fanning the fire.
Finally after several hours the fire was brought under control and even if there were no human injuries, all the cargo of Gin was destroyed by the flames.
A black THURSDAY in Seine Maritime…
