TOKYO: A woman has been killed after a truck carrying airbag parts made by Japan’s troubled Takata exploded in a massive fireball on a US highway, the firm confirmed on Tuesday. Four others were injured when the vehicle, which was on its way to a company factory, erupted “like a big bomb”, local police said. The damage was so extensive that she had to be identified through dental records.
