At least one person has died after an LPG gas tanker caught alight on the N12 near the Comaro Road off-ramp in southern Johannesburg on Sunday morning.



A light motor vehicle reportedly collided with the stationary truck in the early hours, trapping and killing the driver of the vehicle. The truck driver escaped uninjured.



The crash shut down the highway in both directions for several hours.



Emergency services on the scene declared it highly hazardous due to the risk of explosion.
