AT least 200 people were killed when a petrol tanker lost control and rammed into vehicles before bursting into flames in southwest Nigeria at the weekend. The victims, including a newly wed couple, were burnt beyond recognition. The accident, which involved more than 10 vehicles, occurred on Saturday and cut into heavy traffic on the Ife-Ibadan road in Osun State. A policeman said the tanker exploded shortly after spilling petrol on the road. – AFP
