A GASOLINE TANKER COLLIDED WITH A CAR, THEN CRASHED and broke out in flames Monday afternoon in South Carolina.
The Herald / Reyes
The tanker was travelling southbound on I-77, just south of Charlotte, North Carolina, when it somehow collided with a 4-door sedan occupied by two women in their 50′s. The vehicles ended up against median wall with the tanker rolled over and partially on the car. As a passer-by was helping the two women get out of their car, the spilled product started burning.

The truck driver had apparently been trapped in his cab, perhaps injured as well, and he perished in the fire. The accident happened just before 3 pm and the firefighters had the blaze knocked down and under control in an hour. The two women were treated and released from the hospital.
