The BR-330 highway in the city of Ubatã, located in the southern part of Bahia state, has been reopened to traffic following a complete 48-hour closure. The shutdown was necessitated by a serious accident involving a tanker truck carrying flammable gas.
The incident occurred at kilometer 885 of the route on Tuesday, the 5th. According to the available information, the accident resulted in one fatality and caused a leak of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) onto the roadway.
Authorities closed the highway entirely to manage the hazardous situation, ensure public safety, and conduct cleanup operations. After two days of work, the road was cleared and deemed safe for vehicles to pass.
The reopening restores a key transportation link in the region. No further details regarding the cause of the accident or the identity of the victim have been provided in the verified facts.
