A fiery highway pile-up involving a truck carrying natural gas killed at least 10 people in Nigeria on Wednesday. The National Emergency Management Agency Spokesman said a truck carrying compressed natural gas (CNG) lost control and ran into many cars and the fire from the main truck spread to other vehicles that were on the road.

The crash was the latest deadly incident involving fuel trucks in the west African nation, where a spate of tanker accidents sparked recent reforms on vehicles carrying liquid petrol.
