Tractor-trailer Flies Off U.S.75 Bridge Bursting into Flames
The driver of a tractor-trailer was killed today when the rig he was driving flew off a bridge along U.S. 75 in Allen and crashed onto Stacy Road. Dashcam shows the big rig burst into flames as it twisted upside down before hitting the ground. Witnesses on scene told they attempted to save the driver but that the flames were too much. A few explosions followed the crash. Officials with the Allen Fire Department confirmed that the truck driver was killed in the crash. No other injuries have been reported and it's not immediately clear what caused the driver to veer off the highway. On the elevated highway, traffic along northbound U.S. 75 is down to one lane. An axle with two wheels still attached was spotted beyond where the truck went off the highway. Investigators have the intersection blocked as the crash is investigated. |

Movies always show the best explosions in the trailer.

I am confused about the timestamp, it says 9-21-2022 but it's 9-20-2022 when this was posted, so either that didn't happen in the us but australia or something where it is tomorrow, or the dashcam is set a day ahead.
