A young man heading back home along Highway 401 from Kingston, Ont. to Burlington on Tuesday night said he was one of the last cars to make it out of the area before a fuel tanker truck exploded on the highway.
It was around 10:30 p.m. when a fuel tanker crashed into the centre median and sparked a massive fireball under the Brock Road bridge overpass, bursting into flames and killing two truck drivers.
OPP Sgt. Kerry Schmid said the fuel tanker truck was hauling two trailers of “highly flammable fuel” and the trailers rolled over onto the westbound lanes which “ruptured the tanks, creating a massive fireball in this area.”
