The incident occurred along the Ogbomoso/Ilorin Expressway.
General Manager, Oyo State Fire Service Mr Yemi Akinyinka confirmed the development on Thursday.
Akinyinka noted that men of the agency were immediately mobilised to the scene of the incident.
“Yesterday Thursday 6th march 2025, at exactly 09:20hrs we were called.
“On arrival, we met a Mack Trailer registration no FGE/667H (Kano) /loaded with 50,000 litres of P.M.S that has summersaulted in the open road and the P.M.S gushing out.
“Instantly, we ‘blanket’ the area with foam compound to neutralize the flammability of the spilled contents from attracting unnecessary naked fire,” he said.
