Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A fuel station located along Umunya road, along the Enugu-Onitsha Expressway, was on Tuesday saved from fire as a tanker laden with diesel fell within the area and went up in flame.<\/p>\n

The tanker, a source said, fell inside the gutter after the driver lost control. The source said the tanker immediately went up in flames after the fall.<\/p>\n

The incident happened on Tuesday morning at the popular Odumodu Junction, Umunya, Oyi Local Government Area.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe diesel flowing out of the truck flowed through the gutter, generating flames and burning everything in its way.<\/p>\n

\u201cMen of Anambra State Fire Service have however arrived at the scene and are battling to quench the fire, with passersby who trooped out in their numbers,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

It is yet to be ascertained if there were casualties at the time of this report.<\/p>\n
