The driver sustained minor injuries and was hospitalized. While locals reported mild eye irritation from the chemicals, officials deemed it not severe. Emergency services worked for hours to clear the road, which remained blocked for over five hours. The traffic disruption also led many schools to advise parents to arrange alternative transportation for their children. Traffic on Ghodbunder Road had already been severely impacted for over 11 hours on Tuesday due to a previous accident.
