The accident occurred 130 kilometers from the capital, Monrovia, after a tanker loaded with gasoline fell into a hole in a road and caught fire.
Local sources said that it is difficult to determine the number of victims now, but initial estimates indicate that at least 40 people were killed.
“There were lots of people that got burned,” police said.
Police added that after the crash, some locals had begun to take the leaking gas when the tanker exploded, killing some and wounding others.
