I can see only 1 possibility of this happening. Which is if the semi was running on LNG (liquid natural gas) and the tank ruptured when he struck the barrier. Diesel will not do that, not even gasoline will do that as fast as the eruption took place.

Guy had propane injection installed so he could win those weekend tractor pulls.

I can see that happening. Very violent crash almost right in the center. Ran over that bridge structure. HAD to demolish the oil pan full of hot oil, possibly broke the exhaust manifold or plumbing to the turbo. The red hot exhaust got sprayed with hot engine oil. That ignited, then the fuel tank on the side ruptured, spraying diesel in to the oil fire.

I just hope the drive work up quick enough to escape or, at least went QUICK. that was not a good situation.

We had a situation here in central Ohio. Semi, drive distracted buy his cell home, did not get stopped ran OVER a car then smashed into the back of a bus load of band students. THE CONFLAGRATION WAS INTENSE. I was mowing grass about 15 miles away. I FELT the blast. Though to myself THAT WAS NOT GOOD!!. But it was much worse than I imagined.

Granted, there was some gasoline in the car, but the truck had just left the terminal, tanks FULL of diesel
