Sierra Leoneans have taken to various social media platforms to mourn victims of a fire explosion that occurred on November 5, 2021, that caused 151 deaths and 304 injuries.

Sierraloaded reported that on that faithful Friday evening, a heart wrenching news broke out when a fuel tanker exploded in Wellington killing and injuring dozens of people.

The explosion occurred some minutes later after the fuel tanker collided with a lorry.

The Fuel spilled from the tanker after the collision and engulfed people gathering the leaking fuel, bystanders, and vehicles waiting in the heavy traffic.

Lack of awareness among other factors is widely believed to have contributed to that greater number of deaths.
