While one lorry was loaded with steel rod rolls, the other vehicle was carrying soda water bottles.
Under the impact of the collision, a fire broke out after the diesel tanks of the lorries exploded, resulting in the death of the driver of the steel laden lorry that overturned.
It was gutted, police said.
The driver and cleaner of the other lorry jumped out and escaped with injuries. They were admitted to the government hospital here where their condition is stated to be out of danger, police said.
