Phnom Penh Tuesday, 21 September 2010
“Before the explosion, I heard a noise from the fuel truck driver, a honking of the horn, and when I came outside, I saw flames coming from the truck.”A fuel truck ignited in Phnom Penh Tuesday afternoon, destroying houses and cars but leaving bystanders and the driver otherwise unharmed, witnesses and police said.
The driver of a fuel truck for Sok Kong Import Export Co. Ltd., was transferring fuel at a garage in Prampi Makara district around 12:30 pm, when a flame from an unknown source appeared along the refueling house, they said.
Seeing the flame, the driver jumped in the cab of the truck, drove about 300 meters, then exited the vehicle and fled before the tank ignited, witnesses and police said.
Police are now looking for the driver, who fled at the scene of the explosion, apparently unharmed.
