18 Wheeler Flies Off Overpass and Bursts into Flames

Quote:
A video has emerged showing the harrowing moment when an 18-wheeler crashed on a major interstate outside of Dallas, Texas causing a massive explosion and killing the driver.

The security footage on Interstate 30 caught the explosive moment that the truck flew off an overpass and crashed on the busy freeway below.

There were a handful of cars driving along the President George Bush Turnpike on Saturday afternoon when the 18-wheeler crashed but they were able to slow down and swerve out of the way in order to avoid hitting the fiery truck.

The only reported fatality was the driver of the 18-wheeler, who has been identified as 59-year-old James Anthony Long of Clarksville, Tennessee.
Local station KLTV reports that his exact cause of death is still unknown but an investigation into the what caused the truck to drive off the overpass is still underway.

The truck was transporting ceramic tile, and is owned by a Gallatin, Tennessee-based company called B&M Trucking.
The surveillance footage shows that a number of drivers who saw the truck crash pulled over and rushed towards the vehicle to see if they could help.

The entire truck was engulfed in flames at that point, however, so there was no chance to save Mr Long from the wreckage.
That said, one passenger vehicle was seen swerving towards the closest exit as the explosion began but the driver cut it so close that they nearly got in an accident themselves.
Both the north and southbound lanes of the busy turnpike for the rest of Saturday evening as they stopped the fire and cleared the crash site.
All lanes of the turnpike were reopened on Sunday morning.

That guy in the dark/silver car on the other lane is so lucky. The truck was flying right over him.

Re: 18 Wheeler Flies Off Overpass and Bursts into Flames

The report says " the busy freeway below" then it said "There were a handful of cars driving along the President George Bush Turnpike " so which was it ? I see only a few cars so I'd say it was not busy plus surely a "massive explosion" would have taken out the bridge above and the few cars around the truck ? Oh am I being pedantic here ?

I'd say cause of death was a heart attack at the wheel due to too many cheeseburgers !
