LONDON (Alliance News) - BP PLC has recalled its entire trucking fleet in Australia after an accident involving one of its fuel tankers resulted in the deaths of three people, the Wall Street Journal reports Friday.
A trailer attached to a BP fuel tanker became dislodged on Thursday while on a road near Wodonga in Victoria state. The trailer crossed onto the wrong side of the road and collided with two oncoming cars, killing two people and a child.
BP said it will conduct an internal investigation into the cause of the accident and has recalled 42 trucks either owned or contracted by the company.
A BP spokeswoman said the recall will not have a material impact on fuel supply in Australia.
