A gas tanker exploded on the Pune-Solapur highway late on Saturday night after a car collided with it. At least one person was reported dead and a few others injured in the incident that occurred around 10.30pm. Sources said traffic along the highway was blocked.
An Indica car collided with a tanker that was waiting to tank up at a petrol pump in Varkute village, in the jurisdiction of the Indapur police. As a result, the valve of the gas tanker came loose and gas began to leak. Even as people began to make a run for it, on smelling the leak, there was a huge explosion. At least five fire engines were rushed to the spot.
