LPG and oxygen cylinders
The violent collision caused powerful explosions due to the presence of a LPG cylinder in the bus and an oxygen cylinder in the IX car, according to the same source.
The seven occupants in the two vehicles were recovered charred.
According to reports, the accident occurred when the driver of the IX car attempted to make a U-turn, resulting in a collision with the minibus.
