Chemical leak causes fire on highway

Firefighters try to extinguish a fire caused by a white phosphorus leak near Huzhou, East China's Zhejiang province, June 3, 2013. A van carrying dozens of barrels of white phosphorus was involved in a pileup on the Hangzhou – Nanjing Highway early morning on Monday. White phosphorus, a highly flammable and toxic chemical, leaked and caught fire after the barrels were damaged. No deaths were reported. The fire is now under control. Over 1,300 residents have been evacuated. [Photo/CFP]
