    On state highway 33 in Horicon WI. At least the truck driver wasn't at fault. Hope the guy turns out alright.

    Not to make light of the situation but here they can melt the asphalt, repair the road and have it open in 10 hours while Milwaukee has been under construction for years and there's no end in sight.

    Ya its like I-80 in Ohio. Theyve been doing major construction for years but dont seem to ever get anywhere plus once they do it immedistely begins to fall apart. At least most of I-90 is finally done now just the city portion left.

    Glad the driver is ok and only had minor injuries. As much as I dont like 4wheelers I never wish to see they hurt just scared straight

    Very lucky truck driver to have survived that crash and subsequent fire.

    This is me when I was in the fire department. 8,000 gallons of gasoline burning. A car ran a stop sign and broadsided a gasoline tanker. the tanker driver survived but the 2 occupants didn't. Burned 3 houses. 001.JPG

    I was up there 13 years ago visiting family in Big Bend and I seem to recall it happening then as well.
