KARACHI: An oil tanker overturned on the Karachi Superhighway killing one person.

The oil tanker was making its way to Karachi when a car came and turned out in front of it. In a bid to save the car the oil tanker went out of control and flipped over.

The tanker was 50-60 kilometers outside of Karachi.

The oil tanker had a capacity of 55-thousand liters of oil and all of it spilled onto the road after the tanker overturned, igniting a fire.

Two other cars involved in the crash caught fire and a cleaner in the other car was burnt alive.

The vehicles and the petrol burnt for two hours before any fire brigade vehicles could reach the spot.
