The death toll from a fuel tanker explosion in Boksburg, a South African city east of Johannesburg, has risen to 15, the country's Health Minister Joe Phaahla told reporters on Sunday.
More than 50 others were injured when a truck carrying liquefied petroleum gas exploded on Saturday.
The blast broke the roof of the emergency department at a nearby hospital and destroyed two houses as well as several cars.
The local emergency authorities said the gas tanker apparently got stuck under a bridge and caught fire, and an investigation into the blast was ongoing.
