One person died and two others were injured in Gorongosa district, Sofala province, this Tuesday, when a fuel tanker they were working on exploded.
The incident took place as the vehicle’s tank was being welded in preparation for it returning to service.
The tank was reportedly empty, but witness speculate that droplets of fuel released during the welding work caused the explosion.
After initial treatment for severe burns at the District Health Centre in Gorongosa, the two survivors were evacuated to Chimoio Provincial Hospital in Manica province.
Manuel Inácio, the clinical director there, said that the two patients were in intensive care.
Explosão de tanque-cisterna mata uma pessoa e fere duas, em Gorongosa
Uma pessoa morreu e outras duas ficaram feridas, esta terça-feira no distrito de Gorongosa, em Sofala, na sequência de explosão de um tanque-cisterna.
Os feridos com queimaduras graves, foram levados para o Hospital provincial do Chimoio, na província de Manica.
O incidente registou-se no momento em que se soldava o tanque do automóvel, que se preparava para transportar combustível.
O tanque estava vazio, mas, ao que tudo indica, as gotículas de combustível que se libertavam durante o trabalho de soldadura, terão originado a explosão, segundo contou uma testemunha no local.
Antes de serem transferidos, os feridos foram assistidos no Centro de saúde distrital, de Gorongosa.
O director clinico, Manuel Inácio, referiu que os dois pacientes, inspiram cuidados intensivos.
