Daughter live right across the field where it happened. She said that for anyone that was involved that she hopes it was over fast for them. She can't imagine what life would be like going forward for anyone that survived, it was that bad.

There is zero info on this, the most I can find is here which is nothing other than a accident happened

Ambulance and life flight were involved so there were some survivors. Hopefully they were injured outside of the fire and not badly. Prayer for all affected.

Preliminary from my source, one fatality, one with traumatic amputation, and burns. Hopefully no more in that mess.☹️ View attachment 1163087
Not much of anything identifiable in that pic. One fatality is still bad, but hopefully that number stays. As for "traumatic" amputation...I'm going with all amputations are pretty traumatic.

In a mess like that, hard to tell what was what and where. I'd think before clean up crews, highway patrol will have to separate chassis and frames and cross reference with who they know. Not a job I'd envy.

That’s because the Kingman paper blows. They just got bought out too and so far it’s more of the same crap. Published 3 times a week. At least when something happens in Havasu, they will have a breaking news deal if even only a sentence or 2

Went under the 40 at Andy Devine and ran next to it from Shinarump down about 930-1030 and somehow didn’t even notice the back up. Crazy, rip to those who lost their lives and loved ones, hard to believe only one fatality based upon these photos.

I will be seriously amazed if it ends up being only one fatality. If it stays in single digits I will be surprised.

I happened to be picking up my moms mail at the community box and I thought someone was screwing around with a hell of a lot of of tannerite as she lives right next to the open desert by the Kingman airport. You constantly hear people shooting guns in that area. That’s when I saw the smoke in post 3. There were 4 loud booms.

I did a job on Oatman road last night at 8 and I took Rte 66 because I thought the 40 would be backed up to Yucca. I was shocked to see it wasn’t but I was told they were turning people around westbound because it closed that way.

Not saying that the fuel source wasn’t part of the explosions, but I’m thinking the truck tires exploding may have also accounted for the explosions you heard.

I was sitting on my back patio when my wife and I heard a large BOOM!. We look up and see a semi truck on fire and leaving a steam of fire behind it as it slowed. Then the fire really erupted... Links to video... Sad deal for all involved.... This thing burned for about an hour and it was intense.... I'm South of the I40 about a mile and a half away...

- Start of event video

This is the first photo, you can see the steam coming off the truck leaving a trail of flames. The taller flames are the truck and the trail behind it got longer.... This was likely no more than a minute after the initial event started...

It was crazy for sure... I had the neighbors all coming out of their homes thinking something bombed their roof... Being a neighbor of sorts we should meet up sometime....

She must live near me as I'm across from the State Trust land just to the South of the highway...

you were looking at it from the North and I from the South at about the same distance.... Crazy for sure... We saw what looked like a Life Flight, it approached the site real low but then never landed that we could see.... Sad deal for sure...
