Fire gas blast kills two, damages N7 bridge

A tank containing household gas exploded, damaging a bridge on the N7 highway at Akasia Park in the Goodwood area early on Monday morning.

The blast happened during an informal settlement fire in which two people were killed.

Western Cape police spokesman Superintendent Billy Jones said that part of the highway would likely be closed to traffic for the day, and KFm news reported that the road was to be closed to traffic in both directions.

No further details were available. - Sapa
