A fuel tanker explosion has killed several people and injured dozens at Ugwu Onyama Federal Highway in Enugu State.

It was gathered that the incident which occured on Saturday, also destroyed many vehicles.

An eyewitness, a tanker driver, who gave his name as Eziechina said that the tragic incident claimed so many lives.

He said some others who were injured have been taken to nearby hospitals.

He said, “Yes, there was a big tragedy this afternoon at Ugwu Onyama Federal Highway. A tanker carrying premium motor spirit (PMS), otherwise known as petrol, fell at the hilly road and spilled the product down the road.

Unfortunately, it caught fire and all the vehicles plying the road at the time caught fire and burned people beyond recognition.

“As I am speaking with you, over 10 people including children have been burnt beyond recognition. Some have just been loaded in a pick-up van to the morgue now. So many others have been loaded in a vehicle and taken to a morgue earlier. As we speak, there’s no road through Ugwu Onyama.

“I am trapped somewhere in Ngwo. The situation is tragic. The second lane of the road is impassable. The fire raged along the road leading to Agu-abor.”
