A milk tanker overturned in a supermarket car park in Wiltshire, spilling some of its 12,500-litre load and diesel from its fuel tank.

  

 

More than 230 people were killed when a fuel tanker overturned and ignited in the centre of a village in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. More than a quarter of the victims were children who had rushed to scoop up leaking oil after the crash.

Witnesses reported that a crowd of football fans, who had gathered at a bar to watch the Holland versus Brazil World Cup match, were closest to the explosion, which happened at around 6pm on Friday. Burning fuel flowed into dozens of mud-and-grass houses up to 100 metres away, setting fire to properties and trapping people inside.
