A gas tanker explosion has paralysed the Changde-Jishou expressway in central China’s Hunan Province.

A fireball resulted from liquefied gas leaking from a tanker, after it overturned on the Yuanling section of the expressway. Three firefighters were killed in Saturday’s blast in Huaihua City and seven vehicles including two fire engines were wrecked.

Traffic jams built up as the route was closed in both directions. Firefighters have cooled the remaining vapor in the tank. But vehicles are still stranded as the culvert under the accident site is damaged.
