Department officers sealed the roads leading to the Sports City roundabout,
putting in place a number of traffic diversions until the accident was dealt
with and the tank was eventually cleared from the area.
Waste water leaked from the tank; the Greater Amman
Municipality used water tanks to clean up the area.
An electricity pole also fell and was damaged under the
bridge during the accident.
