Islamabad: At least 123 people were killed and scores injured in a fire that erupted after an oil tanker overturned in central Pakistan early this morning as crowds rushed to collect fuel, an official said.
The tanker carrying 40,000 litres of fuel overturned on a main highway while travelling from Karachi to Lahore, near the town of Ahmedpur East in Punjab. Details were unclear but some witnesses suggested the tanker had suffered a burst tyre, said regional police chief Raja Riffat.
