A gas tanker truck crashed and exploded in Chile's capital city of Santiago on Thursday, resulting in three deaths and ten injuries. The vehicle lost control and struck a guardrail in the northern section of the city, also damaging seven other cars.
A devastating accident in Santiago, Chile claimed three lives Thursday morning when a tanker truck carrying liquid gas veered out of control and exploded after striking a highway barrier.
The blast left ten additional people wounded in what authorities describe as a tragic incident that occurred in Santiago’s northern district during early morning hours.
During a news briefing, Victor Vielma, who leads the Carabineros police department, explained that the gas transport vehicle lost control before colliding with the guardrail, though investigators have not yet determined what caused the driver to lose control.
The explosion’s impact extended beyond the initial crash, with seven additional passenger vehicles sustaining damage from the incident that unfolded in Chile’s capital city early Thursday.
