This because members of a family tried to light firecrackers; However, one of the pyrotechnicians fell under a car and everything spiraled out of control in a dramatic and gigantic explosion.
Everything was due to the fact that there was a box full of explosives that created a large cloud of smoke and made those present quickly flee with the children to take refuge in the building.
“The fireworks were supposed to go off, but they didn’t. This ignited another box of firecrackers, and as they exploded, they shot left and right. It was very surreal, crazy. After we made sure everyone was safe and out of the way, I watched it from the door of our home,” a relative, who declined to reveal his identity, told Today media.
