    A woman and her child were baked to death when she was stopped at a traffic light and a truck with a load of hot asphalt turned the corner too fast, turned over and the asphalt flowed inside the car. This happened several years ago in Nashville.

    Listed as an accident? More like idiocy took its toll. Asphalt is typically 275-300 degrees, maybe less at the job site, enough for 2nd degree burns, but I doubt would kill you unless the whole load was dumped on them. We're not getting the whole story here, I reckon.

    Sounds like Buried in it when it dumped on him. Sounds like he was working on a line that went to the tail gate and it opened.
