There was a car accident involving a gas tanker and a pickup truck today near where I live.  Sadly the people in both vehicles died.  The photos are pretty wild, it looks like something from a movie.  I know a couple people who were very close to it when it happened, they were very lucky they were not hurt.

Here is a link to the story, check out the video and pictures.
