Up to 70 people were killed in Nigeria, many of them burnt alive, when a fuel tanker crashed into a busy bus station in the southeast city of Onitsha in Nigeria and exploded, according to the BBC.

Eyewitnesses say the driver lost control of the tanker as it was going downhill in the city of Onitsha.

Rescue workers say 12 other vehicles caught fire in Sunday's incident, which police say was an accident.
In 2012 more than 100 people died in a blaze as they tried to get oil from an overturned tanker in southern Nigeria.
