(CNS): An oil spill on Shamrock Road between Marina Drive and the areas towards the Chrissie Tomlinson Roundabout Thursday morning caused a diversion for traffic heading eastward onto the east-west arterial. It’s not clear how the spill in the Prospect area happened but police and fire officers and the National Roads Authority were all involved in the clean-up operation, which was completed by lunchtime.

    Could it be one of these mobile fueling services just doing a side of the road fill up? How are these outfits getting away with this nonsense? Guess nothing will be done till there is a huge spill or worse yet an explosion. Those services need to be prohibited from fueling vehicles on the sides of roads and in open lots.

    Last time I saw a spill like this it was caused by a drum of used engine oil falling out of a pick up truck. The container wasn’t sealed or secured and the truck had no tailgate so it just tipped over and rolled out the back.
