A rail-tanker loaded with 23 tons of liquefied petroleum gas that fell into a river in east China's Zhejiang Province on Tuesday was still leaking yesterday, a fire department official said.

By noon yesterday, firefighters had found and patched two leaks but it was still leaking in a village in Chatian Town, Longquan City. Firefighters were pouring water on the tank, which was partly submerged, to prevent it from exploding in the high summer temperature.
