I-75 Tanker Crash Fire Ellenton Florida Interstate 75 I75

[johnadam135]

to add on to my previous comment, he was illegal because being an immigrant= no license, and his truck spun around like that because of the oil and water mixture on the road. it was most definitely raining and i know because i literally live less than a mile away from I-75 where it happened. i actually missed school that day from being sick and i remember it started raining a few minutes before this happened. i also heard the loud booms that the explosion made.

[johnadam135]

to all of the idiots who think it was the tanker driver's fault, you're stupid. some dumbass mexican immigrant was illegally driving on the on-ramp to get on the southbound lane, but he was going to fast and when he got around the corner his truck spun around and stopped in the middle of the lane that the trucker was driving on, but the mexican's truck was facing the wrong direction, so the trucker swerved out of the way and in doing so his truck got out of control and flew off the overpass.

[BFMNproductions97]

This was MY dad! I was his princess, his everything. I was 9 years old when her dies, and i'm 13 now. I hope no body has to go what i went through, and still go through in life. He won't walk me down the aisle when i get married, he won't be at my 16th birthday party, and he wont get to hold his grandchildren. I will always be his "princess" though.(: nobody will EVER understand how much pain i go though without him. He was my bestfriend.. and still is. I will always love him and miss him.

R.I.P

[Kokakota1995]

[TopSniper09]

I remember hearing about this, but NEVER seeing any pics...this was terrible...

[Tr2u1ck]

this is why people should STOP driving carelessly around 18-wheelers

[Colts51894]

My uncle was the tanker driver who died in that.

He was a good man and father

R.I.P.

[bls2134]

@Colts51894 im very sorry

[jiob8]

@Colts51894 Read the description fuckin liar, stop trying to act cool. "He was treated for severe burns. Nobody thinks you're cool so stop trying.

[meatwad1257]

i lived a mile from that shit i thought it was the end of the world lol. shits was crazy

[bmwnasher]

was a petrol tanker driver in uk for 12 years and the things some idiots do to you its crazy .this driver died god bless him

[ffjsb]

Real intelligent driving thru a fire!

[KeanuAdams]

@ffjsb Where the hell else was he supposed to go? Make a u-turn on the interstate??

[hulduabbi]

clearly a fuelpump problem, might be an injector that runs bad, or a turbo that has a flaw. go to nearest dieselshop and replace the airfilter (and new undies)

[fncinails]

CLEARLY you have no idea what so ever what your talking about!There's was no repairs needed! The cause of the accident had nothing to do with a fuel pump/air filter problem! It was caused by a man that was extremely careless entering I75! He hit the tanker truck when he entered the I75! The truck driver saved many lives that day! In doing so gave his own! He swerved to avoid hitting & killing him. The truck jack knifed & the trailer with over 8000 gals of fuel went over the bridge & exploded!

[moneymon29]

yeah that was right down the street my bus was like 30 mins late every day to my bus stop.

[Hollywood800music]

Why the hell was that road opened. When a tanker fire was near my house the brige was shut down cause then latter if fell down. STUPIED IDIT

[ImaxDSHIFTJavier]

[roaddiablo]

They did close it down, that happend befor the cops arrived.

[fncinails]

I'll go to lunch with you and tell you all about it! You have no idea what its like! If you did you wouldn't be posting such useless comments on this video! You seem to be just another heartless piece of shit that plays with his "TubeSteak" way to much! Take your"Tubesteak" ,stick in your mouth and shut the hell up you cold-hearted SOB!

UNBELIEVABLE!!!

[JIMAXair]

i just got back from my vacation in florida and i saw this bridge 4 days ago on my way to sarasota....i was like WHOA....they were starting to rebuild it...the whole bridge was gone and all was standing were the supporters from the construction.

[viviana523]

My brother-in-law and his nephew recorded this.....=)

[jphustman]

Thanks for recording this.  This accident stopped a trip for a couple days, cause I didn't want to drive through it, and I wondered what it looked like. I saw a snippet of this video on NBC 8.

[clutch1245]

Gas prices are gonna go up...

[SRQshark]

I saw the bridge 2 days after the crash. omfg it was a mess

my friend heard the explosion 3 miles from the crash and it shook his house from that distance

[RobDFrizzle]

[hanspflaumer]

We shot this video and provided it to news stations.

[dcabrer1]
