A dramatic video circulating online showing the tanker-truck accident and petroleum spill that has closed the eastbound lanes of Highway 1 near Hampton for several days appears to be genuine, according to a CBC News analysis of the footage.
The 14-second video was posted on the weekend by the Facebook account Skilled Truckers Canada and shows a transport that is hauling a double-tanker trailer strike the rear of dump truck and then roll over.
Charbel Awad, New Brunswick’s deputy environment minister, said he has not seen the footage but said anyone who knows anything about the accident should share it with investigators.
