Sand is thrown on the road to absorb fluids that might leak from a vehicle that may damage the environment or if left on the road may cause a further accident, such as oil being left could cause a vehicle to lose grip on the road and crash. Also there are more immediate risks such as fuel leakage like petrol, which is highly inflammable.
