The "woods" is where the road used to be.

Arklatex news says the truck exploded on the highway. The driver may be in pieces and parts in the trees.

you can barely see the yellow line on the highway that's now covered in pine needles.

Oh, yes. The lines are faint and covered with debris. Thanks

Tigerbutt, this was not a stupid question. Can you see down in the crater from your screen? I can’t.

Gotcha. I was just curious because I know some folks in Dermott/Lake Village/Eudora.

There’s some other pictures from this morning showing the tanker on fire and traffic behind it, including a school bus. Can’t find the pics now though.

Soon after the fire started, officials began evacuating houses in a one mile radius, then the explosion happened. That's when chaos broke out and people nearby reportedly began running in every direction and two police cruisers were destroyed

So it crashed and was on fire, then exploded?


Any idea how long after the crash? Looks like the police were there and at least able to block the road.

Ammonium nitrate is no joke. That fertilizer plant explosion in West, TX basically erased the whole town.


Also what was used in the OKC bombing.

they can’t find the driver

well, considering the truck blew a 15 ft. hole in the fricking highway, if they are looking for a "body", then they are looking for the wrong thing...

because of the explosion, the trees and roadway were obliterated... what do you think a squishy, soft human body are gonna look like?

they better be looking for pieces, rather than an intact body...
