Comment online since September 17th 2008I was told by members of the dept, and the fire dept, that there was a tire blown out of the front of the truck. I feel that this story was blown out of the water by the press, the fire dept, believed that the accident was caused by a blown tire and there was no mention of it, plus to know if he had seat belt on well there wasn't much left there to tell if he had it on or not. the point is it was a tragic accident and you guys made it sound has if it was his fault, it really could have been a lot better written if you asked questions at the scene. I wouldn't wanted to be that family and have to read the paper.
