Drone or UAV video from Anthony O’Neal (Northport Fire Rescue) at a fuel tanker fire yesterday (Friday) on Highway 171 in Northport, Alabama (Tuscaloosa County).
Alabama State Troopers say the truck caught fire but did not explode after the driver lost control in the curve at Montgomery Farms and overturned around 9:45 a.m. Friday.
The driver was taken to DCH Medical center with non life-threatening injuries.
The tanker was carrying 4,500 gallon of diesel fuel and 3,500 gallons of gasoline. Crews will determine how much fuel was spilled in the crash once it is safe to assess.
Northport Fire Rescue let the fire burn itself out, which took several hours.
