A vehicle carrying acid overturned on the Thaketa Township side of the Yangon-Thanlyin Bridge at around 3:30 pm on October 2, injuring three pedestrians, according to social aid organizations.

The acid spilled onto the road from the overturning. Two men and a woman who were crossing the road from the spill suffered acid burns on their legs. The three injured are from Thongwa Township. The driver of the car suffered a broken arm, according to social aid organizations.

"I was passing by at the time the car overturned. I saw acid spreading on the road. There was smoke and a strong smell. I don't know how people who have been exposed to acid feel. I washed my car with water as soon as I got home and saw white foam coming out, so I thought it must be strong acid," said an eyewitness.

In addition, the road had to be cleaned up because acid had spilled onto the road, and officials from the Myanmar Fire Services Department (MFSD) and social welfare organizations helped with the process.
