One person was feared dead while scores of vehicles got burnt in a tanker explosion that occurred in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital.
The incident occurred around 8:15 am on Tuesday on the Presidential Boulevard around Guarantee Trust Bank opposite Lawson Group School, Kuto, Abeokuta.
The explosion, which reportedly involved a 33,000 fuel-laden tanker, happened due to a brakes failure.
Our correspondent, who was at the motor park close to the scene observed that the tanker which was coming from Sagamu-Siun-Oke-Mosan Road climbed the overhead bridge but suddenly lost control while descending from the bridge.
The tanker hit a motorcycle that was in motion and then rammed into some commercial vehicles stationed at the tail end of the bridge awaiting passengers.
