A refrigerated meat truck suffered a 180-liter diesel leak this Monday at noon in Sant Feliu de Pallerols, resulting in fuel reaching the Brugent River.

The incident occurred on Estació Street, near a local cold meat factory. Around 12:30 PM, a large hole in the vehicle's tank caused the fuel to spill onto the road.
Four Firefighters crews managed to control the leak, but some of the fuel entered the sewage system and reached the river. Agents Rurals are assessing the environmental impact.
