    Wow. Pretty surprised to see a bottle punctured.

    I've noticed several HazMat doubles drivers zipping around the Greater Salt Lake City area.

    The tanker yankers pulling Rocky Mountain doubles always seems to be in a hurry around either Salt Lake City or Boise for some reason or another.

    Those things are pretty tough. But that was a really big hole in the side of the tank. I wonder what he rolled over to do that.

    More than likely he whacked into the pillar supporting one of the overpasses. Either that or the hole came from skeeballing across the pavement!

    I am going to guess that the hole is what knocked the truck off of the road. Yet by the time the first responders showed up, the trtuck was no longer venting. If anything there may have been a slight aroma. Yet the danger was already gone.
