Kudo's to the trucker, that would have been FAR worse had he left the truck parked.

Note to the police. If a TT unit carrying hazmat erupts spontaneously in flame you may not want to pull your cruiser that close. I am thinking a set of binoculars are in order. (Blue canaries) hahahaha

Great job by the trucker. It would be real easy to lose your cool in a situation loke that.

That's exactly what I thought when I watched the video. Wonder if he had any Haz Mat training, all the LEO's around here are required by their chiefs to be at least at the Awareness level. And the pics of the guys in street clothes inside the HAZ MAT tape right next to the guys in the Class B suits. DUH!!!!
