Koa radio at Denver, 7pm also had a bad truck accident that closed the freeway.

I missed part of the report, and left the station, GunnyBob is doing a program on taxes.

What I heard was "mini van hit truck, then the fire started and the road was closed".

I couldn't open your link with my computer.

Is this a related incident or just issue with unforgiveness?

Man faces charge of criminal mischief

A Des Moines man was arrested and charged with second-degree criminal mischief Friday after he allegedly tampered with a compressor at a local business, causing a chemical leak that left six people temporarily hospitalized.

Police said Justin Lee, 25, smashed the fans at Loffredo Fresh Produce, 4001 S.W. 63rd St., with a bat or hammer at around midnight Friday, causing coolant chemicals to leak. The six employees who came into contact with the chemicals were treated at Mercy Medical Center for minor injuries.

Managers at the business told police that Lee, a former employee, had been fired a year ago.

I just saw a quick blurb on the news that a tanker accident had closed the road (as far as I know the ONLY road) leading to the FL Keys. I will look for more info. to confirm.

Here it is, Granny....

(CBS4) DENVER An accident that happened shortly before 4 p.m. led to the complete closure of Interstate 70 for several hours Monday afternoon.

The incident happened when a semi cab that was headed eastbound jumped the barrier for an unknown reason and collided head-on with a minivan that was headed westbound. The minivan burst into flames, and the highway at the scene was scorched.

At 5 p.m. CBS4 had confirmed at least one fatality from the wreck. Other injuries were unknown.

The accident happened at the I-70 and Vasquez Blvd. interchange. All eastbound lanes were closed at York and westbound lanes were closed at Quebec.

There was a bad truck accident here in Nashville this past Saturday evening -- a semi hit another truck, causing them both to plow through the median into oncoming traffic, killing 2 at the scene in the ensuing fire, and injuring 10 others, 2 critically. The driver of the first semi fled the scene, only to return an hour later.

Here's the kicker: I saw live footage from the scene of the accident on the evening news, and the truck which was hit was a tanker; 2 of my drivers at work last night verified this. When I looked for a link to post here, our local media is saying the second truck was transporting corn starch. What did our local lame-stream media have to gain by changing the lading of the second truck?
