Freetown: At least 91 people lost their lives in a fuel tanker explosion at Freetown in West-African country Sierra Leone. Most of the victims were people who had gathered to collect fuel leaking from the damaged vehicle. More than 100 people were injured in the explosion and are under treatment.
The tanker exploded after colliding with another vehicle at a busy junction in the capital city of the African country.
