The trucks were on their way from Omdurman to the capital of North Darfur. The collision took place on the Western Salvation road at Karkar area, near the capital city of North Darfur state.
The locality commissioner, Eisa Mohamed, disclosed that the accident occurred as a result of the use of excessive speed by one or more of the drivers, and a wrong passing. Two fuel trucks drove into each other; the strong friction caused a fire to ignite, which led to an explosion.
