VIDEO: Massive fire leaves driver hurt after tanker truck crash on I-595 in Broward County

Roads have reopened after a crash involving a tanker truck and a Broward County bus left one person hurt and erupted into a massive fire on Interstate 595. It happened at around 10 a.m. Sunday, when a gasoline tanker that was traveling westbound on I-595 just east of Southwest 136th Avenue sideswiped a disabled and unoccupied Broward County Transit bus that was parked on the left shoulder, Florida Highway Patrol officials said. The impact sent the tanker into the median, where it hit the wall and caused the fire. Videos from the scene showed the downed tanker consumed by massive orange flames on the westbound lanes of I-595 as heavy, black smoke billowed from it. NBC6’s Chernรฉy Amhara drove past the burning fuel tanker earlier in the morning and described the intense heat.
