Fuel tank explosion in Haiti

An explosion of a fuel tank killed 24 people and left dozens seriously injured on a road in the southern peninsula of Haiti. According to local sources, the tanker collided with another vehicle near the municipality of Miragoane, approximately 60 miles to the west of the capital city of Port-au-Prince. A fuel leak subsequently resulted in an explosion, which occurred when individuals attempted to collect fuel from the roadway. Haitian Prime Minister Garry Conille has stated that all possible care will be provided for those who have sustained injuries.
