A woman, her daughter and a vulcaniser on Saturday suffered varying degrees of burns after a petrol-laden tanker fell and exploded at Atatun, Ijaiye-Tutun, in Abeokuta on Friday evening.

According to a witness, the victims were immediately rushed to the Federal Medical Centre, Idi-Aba, Abeokuta.

At least five houses and several shops were burnt in the incident.

Another witness, who simply identified herself as Mrs Olufote, told journalists that the incident happened when a fuel tanker suffered a flat tyre.

She said the driver alighted from the vehicle and negotiating with a vulcaniser beside the road when the tanker tilted and fell.

”The tanker had a flat tyre and in the process of trying to fix it, the tanker exploded and even the vulcaniser who was to work on the tyre was affected.

“The vulcaniser was fixing a motorcycle tyre when the tanker exploded.

“There were many houses that were affected, with some burnt to ashes. In fact, a mosque was also affected,” she said.

Babatunde Akinbiyi, the Public Relations Officer of the Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Corps (TRACE), confirmed the incident to NAN on Saturday.
