At least 70 people were killed in central Nigeria on Saturday when an overturned fuel truck caught fire, burning those who rushed to collect the gasoline. The price of gasoline has quintupled in 18 months, leading many people to risk their lives to collect fuel from fuel tanker accidents, which authorities say are common in Nigeria.
