| Fuel truck filled with 7,660 gallons of gasoline crashes into house | Death Pictures and Death Video A fuel truck loaded with 7,660 gallons of gasoline crashed into a house this morning in the dutch village of Westerveld. The 40 year-old driver working for Gulf Holland declared he became nauseous and therefore missed the u turn. Bystanders however , said they saw the truck driver using his cell phone and in that way missed the turn. The truck went right through a front garden and crashed into the front of a house. The driver was trapped in his cabin for one and a half hour before rescue workers were able to free him from his precarious situation. The truck's trailer filled with gasoline continued to stand, coupled to the cabin, outside. There was no damage to the trailer part and therefore no explosion danger. The residents of the damaged house , that were on vacation in France , have been notified and said they were heading straight back home.  he was damn lucky the gas didn't explode |

Maybe they were just in time to cool it off with foam and water to prevent it from exploding
