The explosion occurred when a CNG-powered vehicle erupted, shattering its trunk and scattering debris across the area. Eyewitness videos circulating on social media captured the chaotic aftermath as bystanders rushed to help the injured.
Emergency responders quickly arrived at the scene, with the injured being transported to nearby hospitals for treatment.
