The powerful blast destroyed part of the bridge and ripped the tanker in two before part of the burning wreckage crashed onto several cars below.
The blaze spread to several cars that are believed to belong to Peugeot and Citroen which also exploded, smashing out windows and sending debris flying.
The horrifying incident happened when a tanker containing highly flammable propane or butane smashed into a lorry carrying cars on a bridge.
