Me sorry! Really!! Me sorry!! :lol::lol:
I had heard the afternoon of the accident, that the truck had hit a concrete barrier and exploded into flame. BUT...when you look through the pictures, the truck is stopped in a fairly straight line, the hood is clearly raised.....and it is really hard to tell exactly where the fire started.
If it started in the engine compartment...then it is amazing that the trailer went too!!
I was enroute to Beaumont, from the house, when a friend caught in the backup called me. She told me of the accident, I suggested one route that I might have used, to get past it, but she told me that she was just beyondthe intersection of that route and I-10....and stopped!! I ended up jumping off I-10 and taking TX62 up to TX12, then 12 west into Vidor.
I was able to get into Beaumont, take care of my business there, and return to Orange via alternate route, before Michelle (my stuck friend) was able to get rolling again....about 2 hours!
