LPG tanker stuck under EDSA footbridgeFirefights douse a leaking LPG tanker with water after the tanker hit a pedestrian footbridge at the intersection of EDSA and Quezon Avenue in Quezon City at past midnight yesterday. MANILA, Philippines — An 18-wheeler tanker carrying liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) became stuck under the EDSA-Quezon Avenue footbridge in Quezon City at past midnight yesterday, causing a traffic buildup that lasted hours. The incident, which occurred along EDSA’s northbound lane at around 12:30 a.m., caused the tanker to leak, the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) reported. Personnel from the MMDA, Bureau of Fire Protection and the city government doused the tanker with water to prevent its highly flammable content from igniting. They also tried to gradually deflate the tires of the truck but this move reportedly did not help them get the tanker unstuck.
