Fuel tanker explosion in Nigeria kills at least 52

A fuel tanker exploded after colliding with a truck carrying passengers and cattle in northern Nigeria killing at least 52 people. The victims were given a mass burial following Sunday's early morning accident and explosion.

The rescue agency said that two other vehicles were also involved and more than 50 cattle were burnt alive. Fuel tanker explosions are common in Africa's most populous nation, where roads can be poorly maintained.
