CR England wreck at Pilot in Lake Havasu Az

I came across this yesterday at the Pilot located in Lake Havasu Arizona. It occurred Sunday morning 9-23. All info came from store personel. An England driver exited his truck and failed to set parking brake. Truck rolled forward about 200 feet hit a curb and the tanks ruptured and ignited. The flaming fuel followed the curb downhill and all trucks were moved in time...except one truck at the end. He was in the shower and came outside with just enough time to unhook his tractor from his trailer which was engulfed in flames.

Heres the England truck. The cab melted like a candle and kind of just oozed down an embankment into the onramp drainage ditch



Here's the trailer that didn't make it



This could have been worse. The truck could have hit a number of things or people. Set your brakes!

 

You better believe it! I'm sure CR England told him to find his own ride home...and rightfully so in this case. Another thing I noticed is that there used to be a little makeshift tire shack just to the left of the burned out trailer that was in the wrong place at the wrong time. I guess they moved...good thing as he would have lost a few tools and some inventory in that mess.
