Zimbabwe acid leak: 30 000 litre toxic spill near 'Cecil's' park

A massive decontamination exercise is under way near Zimbabwe's famous Hwange National Park after a tanker transporting sulphuric acid overturned spilling 30 thousand litres of the dangerous chemical on the main road.

The chemical has seeped hundreds of metres from the crash site, near Dete, and is now threatening a local river.

Zimbabwe’s Environmental Management Agency is said to have arrived on the scene of the accident within an hour. 

Reports say the driver and his assistant were injured.
