The truck on the side of the A24 highway during the big cleanup. A leaky truck was discovered to have spilled 900 litres of nitric acid onto the streets of a south Berlin neighbourhood on Wednesday, leaving fifteen people injured. The driver of the truck had stopped at a service station along the A24 highway to eat something at around 7pm. Nitric acid is a colourless liquid which is strongly corrosive. If nitric acid comes in contact with other substances, it can trigger violent reactions.
