Eight people are reported to have been killed in an incident in which a gas tanker exploded in a residential area in Boksburg, east of Johannesburg on Saturday morning.

Ekurhuleni Disaster and Emergency Management Services say several people have been critically wounded.

They say the driver of the truck, which belongs to LP Gas, drove under a low-lying bridge, scraping the top of the vehicle. This is suspected to have caused the explosion. A video on social media shows some residents desperately ran away from the explosion.
