Several videos captured the exact moment in which a propane gas cylinder exploded in a food sales tricycle, located in the Central Park of Santa Cruz del Quiché.
The explosion occurred in broad daylight and in front of dozens of people who traveled in the area.
The images, registered from different angles by witnesses, show how a flare wraps the cart and causes an expansive wave that generates screams, confusion and careers to get safe.
Some of the videos, disseminated in social networks, capture the full sequence: from the beginning of the fire to the explosion of the cylinder.
Witnesses reported that the incident occurred in a matter of minutes. Several passersby that were close to the place resulted in minor burns. The cart, where cakes were prepared, was totally destroyed by the flames.
Local media reported several injured people, although relief bodies have not yet provided an official report on the number of affected or their health status.
Neighbors pointed out that several street sales operate in the park that use gas cylinders, so they asked the municipal authorities to reinforce the control to avoid new tragedies.
