According to police, welding work was being carried out on the oil-laden truck parked at a depot in Noshki when it suddenly caught fire. In a bid to prevent a larger disaster, the truck driver drove the burning vehicle out of the terminal into an open field. The driver, however, succumbed to his burn injuries on the spot. Meanwhile, the oil tanker, which had turned into a fireball, exploded, injuring over 40 people \u2014 including a DSP and three other police personnel who were present there to move citizens away from the scene. A fire tender was also damaged in the incident.
