Yeah I heard that on the scanner last night. They weren’t saying much other than the crash was fatal and they’d be out there all night.

This morning I heard about this and tried to find some news about it on the web, but no links… Didnt’ bother posting anything. My version included a petrol tanker engulfed in flames.
