Weather does not cause accidents, people driving too fast etc for conditions does.

OP, it believe it was the driver that caused that truck to flip.

No driver, truck just sits there, no hu-hu.

Pretty crazy. If people would slow down a bit when they need to things would turn out a bit better.

The thread title is not factual.  "Driving too fast for conditions cause fuel truck to flip and explode...." would be the correct way to put it.

This.

All my years of running wreckers has jaded the shit out of me.People are stupid.

We get plenty of warnings for this shit,and people still go out in it.And they still drive like it's dry roads.

I can't count the number of people that were going for coffee or going to get cigarettes when the roads are shit and zero visibility in zero degree weather and they are dressed for a day around the house.

Damn slacker Darwin.........

You'll still need trucks to haul to end user. Pipelines aren't going to gas stations, construction sites, factory yards, trucking terminals, and farms to name just a few.

It happened fast because the idiot didn't know enough to slow down on ice--while being pushed by thousands of gallons of highly flammable liquid.  I bet he won't do that again.  <img src=http://www.ar15.com/images/smilies/smiley_thinking.gif border=0 align=middle>

Cousin is BCFD and responded to that. Said the driver of the tanker was one of the 2 DOA, so you're right. He won't do that again.

We usually get plenty of warning about ice storms/ bad road conditions but this time we did not which is very unusual for our area.

No it doesn't. If speed killed, there would be no jet pilots or Indy 500 drivers or astronauts.

Careless driving kills and road conditions kill and people using guns kill.

It's really simple, just slow down, no one seems to be able to do that.
I don't care how much time you have driving in this kind of mess.
So sorry for the loss of life.
