A horrifying accident killed a taxi driver with his car turning into a fireball in Brazil.
The taxi driver without noticing the traffic, entered the intersection only to be hit and mowed by a fuel tanker and then collided with an empty school bus coming from the opposite direction.
The tanker and the taxi, along with the school bus, in seconds turned into a huge mass of fire.
The accident occurred last Tuesday in Curitiba, capital of Paraná state.
The frightening incident was captured by surveillance cameras.
According to local media, the authorities blamed the unidentified taxi driver for not complying with traffic rules. He entered the intersection without noticing that the road was clear of traffic when suddenly a speeding fuel tanker crashed into it.
The video shows the tanker pushing the taxi in front of it on the road, until the taxi and tanker collide with the school bus.
Immediately the bus caught fire and the car stopped completely in the middle of the road.
The fire department told local media that the taxi driver was killed on the spot, while the bus driver escaped unhurt despite his vehicle being completely gutted.
The truck driver was slightly injured.
