Horrifying CCTV Footage Shows Exact Moment LPG Tanker Exploded, Killing 5 & Engulfing UP Toll Plaza In Massive Flames

Kaushambi: The exact moment of the LPG tanker explosion that killed five people at the Sirohi Toll Plaza toll plaza in Uttar Pradesh's Kaushambi district has been caught on a CCTV camera.

The dramatic footage of the horrific blast, that took place on June 26, has now surfaced. It shows two LPG tankers moving towards the toll plaza. One of the tankers lost control as it entered the toll lane, hit a divider and then crashed into the toll plaza.

The impact of the crash prompted the leakage of the liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) stored in the tanker. A huge cloud of white smoke was seen engulfing on the road.

Seconds after the leakage of the extremely flammable gas, a massive explosion rocked the toll plaza, engulfing it with thick flames.

Dharmendra Dubey, the 40-year-old man who driving the LPG tanker, was killed on the spot along with a toll plaza employee named Alok Singh. Three more employees succumbed to their injuries later.

As per reports, the explosion gutted sixteen motorcycles and two parked cars.
