Tanker truck explodes and driver jumps out of burning cabin

A security camera captured the moment a tanker truck exploded on PR-092, in Arapoti, in central-eastern Paraná, on the morning of this Wednesday (12).

It is possible to see the moment when two trucks, loaded with asphalt and naphtha, collided. Immediately after the impact, the explosion occurred. A car passing under the viaduct was narrowly avoided being hit.

One of the drivers then rolled across the grass after the fire started and managed to escape the situation. According to EPR Litoral Pinheiro, the concessionaire that manages the road, the flames were controlled and the Fire Department and Civil Defense were called.
