So did the driver of the tanker just walk away from 8,000 gallons of fuel exploding? Or did he set the tanker ablaze and just run? Some things just make you say hhmmmmmmmmm?

wow, lucky no one was hurt or worse.

I never like driving next to those tanker trucks,
now I know why, lol. I think I would sh!! my pants if I was driving behind that truck
when it went up.

that's going to make a mess of the rush hour commute.

the driver must have seen the fire starting and got out of there and ran

Luckily today is a day off for many people. The commute home through that area shouldn't be so bad given the circumstances.
