The video shows a tanker truck smashing into another vehicle, which seemingly stopped due to a traffic jam on the highway. It even appears that the driver didn’t hit the brakes before the collision, which then caused the tank to dislocate and swiftly erupt into a deadly inferno.

Two people were killed and around 100 injured in the incident, which occurred at around 2pm local time on the A14 highway, Italian RAI television reported. The blast also saw part of the highway to collapse, with the fire spreading to a carpark beneath the overpass, where several other vehicles exploded.
