Nagpur, 25

Oct (HS): A massive fire that broke out following a collision between two trucks

that engulfed both vehicles on Samruddhi Mahamarg near Karanja Toll Plaza in Washim

district. The accident occurred around 4 am on Friday when a speeding truck hit

a stationary truck loaded with chemical cans. Although traffic on the road expressway

was affected, no casualty was reported in the accident.

The

chemicals in the stationary truck resulted in fire, which spread fast to engulf

both vehicles. Prompt intervention of the Fire Brigade averted a potential

disaster.

Reports

indicate that the stationary truck was under repair when a speeding truck hit

from behind generating sparks that ignited the chemicals. The fire triggered

small explosions due to the chemicals.

Two people

suffered minor injuries in the accident.
