Just now I had to come to a stop due to a fender bender on the road. Within 30 seconds I looked behind me and about 100 yards back something very big is shooting up 30+ feet flames.

This is westbound at mile marker 125

It's incredibly hard to drive in a straight line

I’ve got chills.

Idiot in a Camaro came flying by me about 10 miles earlier and he was the one that rear ended another car in the initial wreck.

My guess is that at least one is dead from the resulting wreck. Probably more.

If the camaro passed you 10 miles earlier, how are the flames visible 100 yds behind you?

Confusing post is confusing

I think there are two different wrecks going on here.

The Camaro was speeding and rear ended another vehicle and caused a wreck. This, in turn, caused a second wreck which was basically an explosion which probably has cost multiple lives.

As one person said I think I will call the police and report the Camaro.

I've driven like a maniac on that road in a v8 muscle car. Trying to get to the airport..etc. We all have, just..some in 6 or 4 cylinders though.

Could've been me.
