Panic in San Lazaro After Pickup Explodes Near Gas Station Pumps

At the top of the news we showed you the intense flooding affecting various parts of the country. But while those communities dealt with heavy rainfall, in San Lazaro, Orange Walk, panic erupted after a vehicle exploded around midday. What made it worse, though, was that it occurred directly in front of the San Lazaro Gas Station, dangerously close to the fuel pumps. Police got the report at 12:46 in the afternoon and by 12:50, the fire truck was already deployed and en route to the scene. They brought the blaze under control.

Fortunately no one was injured. The pickup was registered to Brandon Vasquez and so far first responders believe it was an electrical fire.
