JAKARTA - The fuel tanker truck capsized and exploded in the northern Nigeria state of Niger. This incident killed 35 people.
The truck initially slipped off the road and spilled gasoline, which then caught fire shortly after the crash, according to Aisha Saryptu, the FRSC sector commander in Niger state.
Reported by Reuters on Wednesday, October 22, the victims, according to Sa'adu, were taken to a nearby hospital.
Such incidents are common in Africa's most populous country, where petroleum products are transported by road due to limited pipeline infrastructure.
Unmaintained roads and potholes contribute to the frequent accidents that claimed dozens of lives each year.
