Tollway Crash Video Released
DALLAS - The North Texas Tollway Authority on Friday released video showing an explosive crash that happened one day earlier on the Sam Rayburn Tollway in Carrollton.
The video shows an NTTA dump truck proceed from the shoulder into the path of the semi entering the tollway from northbound 35E, before the two vehicles collided in a fiery impact .
The incident happened at about 1:20 p.m. in the eastbound lanes of the tollway, near Interstate 35E.
The semi, which was hauling about 40,000 pounds of frozen chicken, careened across the tollway and crashed in a barrier before bursting into flames a second time, the video shows.
The vehicle's cab eventually began dangling from the elevated roadway. However, the rig driver had been able to escape.
The crash caused no deaths or serious injuries.

That's cause no one happen to be texting or dicking around with their cell phones at that particular moment. That, in and of itself, is a miracle.

Looks like the fuel tank exploded on impact or it was carrying really volatile something that did not appreciate being shaken so much...
Horrible way to die is fire. It is one of if not the most painful death we can suffer as if you don't suffocate and pass out you are conscious until the pain succumbs you to unconsciousness.

Not necessarily true, if you breathe in the flames you will suffocate! Your throat & lungs will be instantly seared, good for steak - not good for lungs & oesophagus!!

Not just from your lungs being seared... you will suffocate because the flames engulfing your body with burn off the oxygen, preventing any from reaching your airways. Like having a plastic bag over your head.

But if you do have enough air, eventually your nerve endings burn off and you don't feel anything. Maybe why people on fire eventually just sit there.

You people got so many lanes on your freeway :o
If we had that on the road i use i would never see rush traffic again.
But then again we got just over 500k people in the capitol, and not every one use a car...

So you didn't send him back so we could stick him in to our poor, minimum comfort, socialist old folks home where some people need to sleep in the hall way until some one releases a room by dieing?
That's nice of you, thanks :D
