Reader Dimitri G. sent us some blurry but right-at-the-action pictures from his iPhone, capturing up close the fire started by garbage from an overturned garbage truck on I-40. Traffic has slowed in both directions but another reader tells us the fire has been brought under control.


Thanks Dimitri

Totally badass!
I saw that!!! It was horrible!
An innocent man is lying in the burn unit, his life forever changed, and the focus here is that some trees burned. Great photos, but let’s keep first thing first.
Thanks for the “innocent man” comment.
I actually know this innocent man, as my parents just called me to inform me about his involvement in this accident, which is extremely distressing. I am not lecturing anyone on what they should/should not do, but I always hope that when things like this happen people take 2 seconds to stop, maybe breathe, maybe make a phone call, maybe smile at someone around them, give someone a hug, but do SOMETHING to reinforce the idea that you never know what will happen in the blink of an eye but what you DO with the time you do have can make a difference.

We should all agree to do ALL WE CAN to drive every freakin’ illegal alien who causes this kind of needless catastrophe out of this country! I respect and admire legal immigrants and will do ALL I CAN to help them, but as far as illegals go, I have no time for them. They are killing our citizens!!! When will we wake up?!!!
