Truck Driving home from WV yesterday. Don't know how I managed to whip out my phone and get the camera app to load. Damn the G1 is slow.

I saw something simlar to this years ago. Some idiot put his still hot charcoal grill in the back of his truck, and it started a bunch of stuff in the back on fire.

He should have stayed in the truck and floored - going really fast will put it out, right?

I called 911 and they already knew about it, but apparently I was the first one to call when he was stopped. All the other people saw him driving while on fire.

i followed a tractor trailer that was on fire for about 8 miles going to a jobsite one time. on the highway the flames were fairly small, little smoke. once he got into town and slowed down the sucker went UP. blocked the 238 for a long time, i got some pics of it but havent uploaded them anywhere. kind of far away from it, the FD wouldnt let people near the trailer until they determined the chance of assplosion. i didnt wait tho, had work to do.

is that really a bbq in the back? i cant imagine thinking it was ok to put a hot grill in the bed of a truck and drive it around lol.

I was just thinking something similar

Reverse at high speed and hit the brakes and let it fly out on the road instead of destroy his truck and even risk the exploding gas tank

I saw some guy with a smoker in the back of his truck last week at a light with it actively smoking and thought something like that pic was bound to happen.

I roll Ford, but you're welcome anyway.

I guess we all learned a very valuable lesson today.
