The incident which resulted in an unprecedented gridlock on the major expressway, occurred after three tankers conveying substance suspected to be acid, petrol and gas collided.
Eye witnesses said one of the tankers, conveying substance suspected to be petrol, apparently had a break failure and in the process, ran into another 33,000 litre tanker conveying some acidic substance. Time was 12.30am.
However, while effort was on to clear the vehicles, another truck with registration number XK 583 KJA fully loaded with diesel, reportedly ran into the stationary trucks at about 6.30am, resulting in an inferno.
