by Brian Byrne. The tanker which crashed on the M9 yesterday afternoon — see pictures here — closing the Kilcullen bypass northbound lanes, is owned by B P McKeefry Ltd, who specialise in transporting bulk liquid and powder products.
It is understood that the contents of the crashed tanker was liquid cooking oil and is non-hazarduous, but the road is still closed at this time and Kildare County Council is spreading detergent.
Initial fears were that it was petroleum oil that was on board.
B P McKeefry transport industrial products, chemicals and hazardous waste, industrial and foodstuffs powder, and sludge.
