According to Houston police, the fuel truck collided with at least one other vehicle. There are no reports of injuries or fatalities at this time.
I'm a trucker, and this is why I don't want a hazmat. I hope whoever was involved is ok 🙏🏽
The fuel tanker drivers tend to be cautious...curious what caused this...
My Dad was the tank driver, he is okay. A car jumped in front of him. He had to jump out and run
@@damionjones8438 good deal...!! I chased the pavement for 27 years, I know how easy it is for a 4wheeler to ruin your day...give your dad a hug...
What about the truck driver? This news report concentrated on the inconvenience of the accident. It stated two were hurt. Is the truck driver ok? Can you imagine carrying that kind of load - one that can explode and the flames and smoke can be seen for miles?
I cannot believe there are not more of these! Those trucks CANNOT stop on a dime. Every day I see other vehicles constantly cut them off. Jump in front of them when they are leaving space between them and the vehicle in front of them. It is ridiculous and yet we complain about the trucks. They are moving goods for us the consumers, and when they are signaling for a lane change very few give them the space to move over. Houston is one of the largest metropolitan areas in the country and we cannot get a handle on this angry, me first, get out of my way, tailgating attitude. Show some good manners and use common sense when you drive. It is not a game. Prayers for this truck driver and others who choose to keep American commerce and life conveniences moving. Prayers for others injured in this accident and prayers for all of us who travel on Houston roads and highways. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
We were coming back from Kemah on 45 when we saw the flames from afar and thought it was a building then we got closer and omg the heat when we passed by it was crazyyyyyy! We just started praying the driver survived
At night, we have NASCAR racing on IH-45 and -69. Cars/pickups going 100mph weaving in and out of traffic. But HPD seems to be busy elsewhere. I wonder what the accident rates are for these roads? Perhaps drone patrolling could be used?
they are afraid that police officers gonna be injured :). Instead they prefer to patrol woodlands for easy tickets for a wealthy residents.
@@arishem555HPD does not patrol the Woodlands.
People out there driving crazy
That's why it's good to avoid the interstate if you can. Less likelihood of dying due to a crash/wreck of some sort.
Yeah the blue tanker truck is a vacuum truck pumping out the drains and ditch. I’ve loaded tanker trucks for the past 18 years now. Luckily nothing serious has happened while loading and nothing has happened to my co workers who do the deliveries. 🙏
This is a very sad accident. Unfortunately the drivers were hurt and ones seriouly hurt. Also, I must say even though this happened on the week-end. There are drivers constantely driving very badly on Tidwell. I drive down Tidwell everly work week Monday thru Friday, from 290 to Shepherd. Drivers are running every intersection light everyday; in the morning and when I get off work. They do not care. I see the Light signals clearly red for them to stop and they are still running the light, while it's green for the others drive to go. It's rediculous. Also, the fly through the school zones. I hate to say, maybe it's becuase of what side of town these people travel on. **But I know people are running light all across town and driving rediculously.
God Bless America
Earlier this week there was an overturned truck by Rayford. What the heck is going on?
To be honest, I don't knows if it's a good idea to post an incomplete story
What are the environmental impacts of a crash like this?
This is the tipping point, climate change inevitable...actually, there is a very local impact, within a few months you'll never know it happened...ma nature is pretty tough...
@@JohnPublic-dk7zdthis crash has nothing to do with climate change. What ever gas is there probably all burned. I’d say minimal impact, but I’m not an expert.
I don’t think they know or care about that kind of thing there.
You're in Texas. They don't give a crap about the environment.
🙏🌹🙏
GTA program is working extremely well 👀😬🤦🏽♂️💀
Every day
Ayerr paseeee por hayyy y habia mucho fuego eso de verdad estuvo feo
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
That must not have been a gasoline fuel truck. A gasoline fuel truck causes bigger fire.
No, maybe it was partially full? How did you gauge the size and intensity? Did some spill into a drain?
Another one?
WE NEED 18 WHEELER SPEED LIMITS INSIDE THE BELTWAY 45 MPH 7AM -11PM
As a truck driver, where you are forced to drive is one of the most dangerous situations,
So glad I left that company which uses light blue trucks
You better believe they’re gonna raise the fuel prices due to those 7500 gallons of fuel lost…
Bad reporting
