Thirteen people were killed when four trucks carrying smuggled petrol collided in south-eastern Iran, state television reported on Sunday. The trucks were travelling with their headlights off when the multiple pile-up occurred late Saturday on the road between Zahedan and Mirjave, which lies on the border with Pakistan, it said.
Thirteen people were killed and four injured in the crash and ensuing blaze. Millions of litres (gallons) of cheap Iranian petrol, which costs just 10 cents a litre, are smuggled out of the country to neighbouring Afghanistan, Pakistan and Turkey where it costs between one and two dollars.
