So I forgot to post this back when it happened but here it is anyway. There was an accident on I15 South on my way home back on the 11th of June. There are these trucks here that haul rocks around to the various construction sites in the valley. They're pretty big and heavy and they even run them doubled-up. Well one of them took a little spill on the highway just South of Tropicanna on the right side. It happened just before I got there. I was four cars back from it when the truck caught fire.

The initial fire and smoke

In this shot you can see all the smoke. I also like the PVC roll bars the guy in front of me has on his Suzuki. That'll really keep his head on if he rolls, but back to the crash.

A closer shot of that fine "roll bar" and the smoke.

A couple of fire trucks showed up and put it out pretty quickly. There was an ambulance but they never loaded anyone up so that's good. You can now see the truck below. That police car was not visible till they got the fire out.

After the fire was put out.

And here we have the final result of the crash and fire. I don't know what he hit. He may have just "burst into flames!" as Eric would put it. ( he thinks that's why there are no animals around here. He thinks that if they come out of their burrows during the day they will "burst into flames" in the desert heat. He went to college too. )

The aftermath

All told, it took 20 minutes to go from crash, stop traffic, get the fire truck there, put it out and get things moving again. Pretty quick I say. And, as far I could tell, no one got hurt. Even better.
