    Ummm... No it doesn't. It doesn't say anything other then two trucks hit each other. One rear ended another.

    It stated one was exiting, the other rear ended him causing the back truck to catch fire which in turn ignited the trailer of the front truck. Since its the Western trailer that is burned, logic would dictate he was exiting and was rear ended

    Another interesting article, "Man files charges against neighbor for punching him in the fist with his face."

    Logic would dictate that, but it wasn't specified in the article. I'll wait to hear what really happened before making the call as to who hit who.

    It says the 2nd tractor started on fire. The tractor pictured is not western and it looks perfectly fine. Also don't see how that tractor rear ended someone since it looks untouched.

    The article doesn't specify if the 2nd trailer set on fire or not. If the second tractor burned obviously that trailer suffered damage too. The seems obvious that western rear ended the other tractor trailer

    "Seems" obvious. But hasn't been confirmed. So let's not assume eh?
