The Civil Defense supported by the Royal Commission’s fire protection units worked for 90 minutes to control and douse the fire.
The driver is believed to be a Filipino, aged 37. He suffered burns and was transferred to the emergency department of Al-Mana hospital, where he is being treated in intensive care.
The fuel station where the fire took place is located near the industrial area and close to electrical facilities.
