    He got ejected... wonder if he was wearing his seatbelt? My guess is no. Hope he'll be ok.

    WOW, lucky this didn't turn out worse. I'm surprised that entire tanker didn't explode on impact. With the fire burning that good, the fumes and the heat around there...just wow.

    Let me play arm chair quarter back here, driver in the day cab was probably one of those drivers who texts while driving, doesn't use turn signals and doesn't wear a seat belt. Look's like it may have caught up to him. Sure, we don't know what happened, but, rear ending another vehicle, being ejected from the vehicle...What do you think?
