At least 100 people were killed as an oil tanker caught fire after it overturned in Bahawalpur's Ahmed Pur Sharqia on Sunday morning, DawnNews reported.
The overturned tanker is reported to have exploded after fuel leaking from its damaged container caught fire.
Seventy five people were injured as a result of the incident.
People had gathered around the tanker after it overturned to collect oil that had leaked out, according to Radio Pakistan.
The fire brigade arrived on the site of the incident shortly after the blaze started and rescue operations were initiated.
Two fire engines battled the fire and eventually gained control over it.
At least six cars and 12 motorcycles were burnt in the blaze.
The injured were transferred to District Headquarters Hospital and Bahawal Victoria Hospital, rescue officials said.

Wrong news Oil Tanker crashed on road and oil was leaking from it people gathered around to get oil but Tanker blasted and resulted in more than 100 deaths
Majority in Pakistan is so fond of having children, 'useless children' who are a burden on the nation. I think only 5-10% Pakistanis are contributing healthily to economy, the rest are a burden who either beg, or steal or commit other crimes in the society in order to feed their stomachs. The same lot vote for corrupt political thugs and impose them upon us as democratic leaders.
We need a 'Hitler' kinda 'Mao Tse Dung' who will force people to have 1 child only. Those who want to have more will have to pay a handsome amount as 'child tax' to the government at the time of birth. This way we may cut down useless crappy population like this which steals patrol from a toppled tanker. And this way we can spend money on those who are actually paying taxes. Then health and education will be in access of every Pakistani!

RIP.
They tried to take oil out of this tanker not because they are greedy; they did it because they are poor, unemployed and desperate. Think about it. Don't blame the victims. This is the responsibility of corrupt politicians who are stealing people's money instead of serving them.

Wrong to think all were gathered there to steal, most were likely spectators. Tanker explosion most have been huge. It can burn people 200 meters away.
