Close call: Semi truck tires explode while trucker tries to put out flames
In alarming dash cam footage, you can see the truck driver as he actually goes under the trailer to try to fight the fire. That’s when one of the tires explodes violently.
There is a dash cam video in the link from the patrol car.

Glad to see him out of their alive. I've seen this altruistic trail sense of urgency trucker saving the life of others . Not criminal or hooligans media portray them to be . not selfish greedy, putting their lives in the line to help company succeed

Nobody scans the gauges like they used to. Autos have made the drivers lazy

I see driver's all the time especially company driver's try and see how fast they can drive down a mountain or a long steep hill brakes catch on fire even more so if you have a leaking wheel seal. I guess it's not there truck so why would they care
Blue Zombie Trucker Thanks this. -
Yep and our families have to share the roads with them. Looks like he accidentally hit his chicken stick ("truck feels slow hurr") and it was too late when he realized it.
