Truck Driver Killed when Big Rig Flips over, Bursts into Flames
One fatality when this big rig wrecked on the 210 freeway and exploded Tuesday afternoon.

Pasadena -- A truck driver was killed Tuesday when his big rig struck a car, flipped over, went off the eastbound Foothill (210) Freeway and burst into flames, authorities said.

The collision occurred just west of Rosemead Boulevard at 1:45 p.m., said California Highway Patrol Officer Anthony Martin.

Three people in a Honda Accord that collided with the truck were treated for minor injuries at the scene, according to Lisa Derderian of the Pasadena Fire Department.

Derderian said the driver's body was in the cab of the overturned truck when firefighters doused the flames, and the coroner's office had been called.

The truck was carrying a load of Rockstar energy drink.

The cause of the collision was under investigation.




...sad that the truck driver died -- RIP --
