An explosion at a petrol station in Rome has left 40 people injured. NOS reports today.

The explosion in the Prenestino neighbourhood occurred when a tanker truck hit a gas pipe near the station. Because of a gas leak that had been reported earlier, fire brigades were already present, reports NOS. The explosion caused the roof of the gas station to fly off. Of the 40 injured, most are emergency workers. There are some seriously injured, but not life-threatening, according to reports.

A second explosion reportedly followed later. The cloud of smoke and fire could be seen for miles around, reports NOS based on reports in local media.
