Tanker Explosion Accident

[Ladyzekke]

Big accident in Maryland (which is very close to where I live). A tanker truck carrying most likely gasoline jumped an onramp and fell onto the highway below, and exploded. Amazingly one tractor trailer on the highway managed to drive through the fire and jump out of his truck and escape (must have been before it exploded, as his tractor trailer is almost completely burnt). Two other cars were involved, at least that they can tell at this time, it's hard to discern anything from the wreckage. It could have been so much worse though if it had happened during rush hour, many more cars would have been involved. It still though is really sad, and I wonder what happened to cause the tanker truck driver to jump the ramp? Sorry, had to post about this, it's all over the news here, and I know at least one friend who is sitting in traffic right now, and probably will be for most of this evening (highway closed both directions).

Here's a link with a news video:
