Incredibly, no one was hurt in a truck accident near Roanoke, Texas, just north of Fort Worth, yesterday that destroyed a tanker truck and a Jeep and threatened many more drivers. When the Jeep and truck collided, the truck’s 5,600 gallons of jet fuel detonated, causing a fire that burned for more than five hours.
The accident isn’t particularly remarkable – violent car and truck accidents happen almost every day, but the fact that such a violent wreck didn’t injury anyone is a surprise. With conditions dry and windy, the intense, long-burning fire could have easily started a brush fire similar to the wildfires that have engulfed large areas of Texas this summer. Moreover, head-on collisions between trucks and cars are often fatal – and frequently lead to collateral accidents and injuries, too!
