10/27/2004: Fuel tanker crash melts bridge

[xoxoxoBruce]

From the link in UT's post;

A fuel tanker crashed and burned at one of Alabama's busiest highway interchanges during morning rush hour today. The fiery wreck partially melted a bridge and could result in months of traffic problems while the overpass is demolished and replaced. The wreck -- which occurred at the intersection of Interstates 20/59 and 65 -- was the second such crash at "malfunction junction" since January 2002. Authorities said a tanker carrying fuel overturned in a curve about 7 a.m., spilling an estimated 9,000 gallons of fuel that erupted into flames and sent a huge column of black smoke skyward.

Nothing in the pictures or text about "tanker crashed off the bridge". The additional "Seven more images", Ut mentioned were at the link, show more of the crash scene. The guard rails are intact because he/she didn't hit them, the truck rolled. The link shows the crash scene, UT showed the fire damage, neither mention the fate of the driver which would be the human interest or emotional angle.
TW- You jumped the gun, an emotional mini-lecture without checking the complete story.......this time. :p
UT- It's always a good post when it stirs the imagination and curiosity to look into it further.
