Who is this and what happened everybody ok?

Looks to be around the Glenwood area on i70. anybody know what happened?

 

Holy crap

 

I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess his truck caught on fire!

Probably not a joking matter to the owner/driver. I see a small trail of flame that leads me to believe a gas tank rupture of some sort. Left rear wheel missing.

 

Shyte, my worst nightmare.

 

hoo leee !
wheel came off, then truck dropped hard onto the asphalt, rupturing the gas tank and sparks did cause the fire

poor truck

 

A lot to happen in a confined space. I was in a '69 Nova drag car once when the drive shaft snapped. Even without a fire, that was a loud and religious experience.

 

He kept it till he drove the wheel off it.

 

wow. so is everybody ok then i hope

 

damn lug nuts....

after my 3k mile trip to expo i had ttwo loose lug nuts in the rear so its good to check frequently

 

So re torque your lug nuts every day? That's odd.

edit: for clarity is there some sort of problem tacomas have that the lug nuts get loose on their own?

 

That truck is fire, bro

 

perfect thanks and everybody is ok

 

Don't know how the fire started exactly but I do know that everyone that was in the truck is okay without any major injures.

 

There’s a video up on Facebook for Fox31. My wife pointed out to me the other day but couldn’t find another upload source to post here.

 

So, I've found that my lug nuts as well, especially on the rear tend to loosen easily. I find myself torquing them on any long trip. I was wondering if I needed new lug nuts.

 

Thank God you saved the dog. Seriously
