Saudi gas truck blast kills 22

A gas tanker truck exploded on a main road in the Saudi capital yesterday, killing at least 22 people, injuring about 111 others and leaving a trail of destruction, officials said.
The lorry veered into a bridge pylon at a junction on Khurays Road in Riyadh at about 7:30am, causing a gas leak that burst into flames, destroying nearby cars and a business, the officials told AFP.
Another truck fell off the bridge due to the impact of the explosion.
Amateur video footage posted on the Internet showed thick black smoke billowing from different spots around the flyover whose pylons were also damaged.
