It was reported that one of the tyres of a Kaduna-Kano-bound petrol tanker laden with PMS burst, thereby forcing the driver to lose control. In the process, another tanker coming from the same direction collided with the first truck, during which two of them exploded and went into flames.
The FRSC unit Commander told Channels Television that the quick arrival of firefighters from both the state fire service and Ahmadu Bello University helped to put out the fire and brought the situation under control.
