Any kind of a tanker is and can be deadly. When they go they usually burn to the ground. I am glad the driver got out.
-
Authorities aren't sure why, but a liquid propane tanker from PTI Trucking missed the curve on the ramp from I-69 to 465. The crash enveloped the I-465 overpass in 150-foot columns of fire on either side.

I saw the flash of the explosion and subsequent mushroom cloud as I was pulling out of the parking lot for another run. I work out of the southeast side of town and was able to see it from that far away. Crazy.
I took that ramp about an hour earlier, too. It's a good thing I was ahead of schedule or I might have got caught up in it. -
The NE corner of Indy I465 & I69 has now just become interesting. Officials are saying the ramp that goes West bound I465 will be closed for weeks.

Tanker crashes closes portion of busy interstate at Indianapolis

Just went through that area about three hours ago. I-69 to west bound 465 is open. 465 northbound to I-69 is open. 465 is closed right after the I-69 exit. Took Binford Blvd to 56th street to bypass 465 west bound. Took an extra 20 mintues but it was better than going west bound on 465.

I live an hour from Indy and on the way home today I-465 Eastbound is now open and Westbound will remain closed for an unknown amount of time according to Q95 local radio station.
