    And this video of Superman coming to the rescue, even though dozens and dozens of people are already there.

    I guess he didn't have his cape on yet as his camera skills are very uncoordinated.

    Driver shares video of fiery crash on I-435 today

    I think he decided too late to take the exit or to abort the exit. One or the other but probably the first if it was one of those two scenarios that caused the crash.

    I also noticed the station news department is finally wondering WTF is the deal with all the truck crash burns lately.
