The residents reportedly rushed to the scene of the accidents, holding jerricans and other containers to scoop the spilt fuel at the risk of their lives.
The driver of the tanker is reported as saying that he lost control upon reaching the police barrier, adding he didn’t notice it.

“I did not see this coming at all. I saw the barrier late. There was also an oncoming car, so I was confused. I did not know whether to avoid the barrier or the oncoming car. So, in an attempt to escape it, I ran into the barrier,” the traumatized driver told Citi News.
