Explosive accident in Florida

I heard on xm radio last night about the accident. An SUv came across the median and hit Glen and Janice Rices' beautiful truck. They were hauling explosives for the military and at least 1 of the 5 containers on the truck had exploded. The turnpike is closed until they can remove the remaining freight safely, so if u are heading down that way, check first. This happened between leesburg and winter garden. Be safe out there, this could have been any one of us.

OH MY!

I read that story on the front page here of EO, but it didn't give names of the drivers, so I never realized that it was the Lil Duece Coupe Truck. Man, I hope they're ok. Trucks can be replaced.

Ok.. just read the update... glad to hear the Rice's weren't hurt, but so sad that someone had to die like that. Amazing testimony to the integrity of that truck to protect the Rice's in a head on like that.. WOW.
