He added that the injured persons were receiving treatment at undisclosed hospitals, and only one person died in the accident.

“The petrol tanker was carrying 33,000 liters of premium motor spirit (PMS), while the articulated truck was loaded with fertiliser. Upon arrival, firefighters immediately took action to contain the fire and prevent further damage. Their swift intervention ensured that the fertiliser cargo was salvaged.

“Preliminary investigations indicate that the incident occurred when the articulated truck attempted to overtake the petrol tanker. In the process, it struck the rear of the tanker, causing a fuel spill that ignited. Tragically, the driver of the articulated truck was trapped and lost his life,” fire service officials said.
