Nelson, quit your sniveling and MAN up!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this has happened

before...the experienced drivers will always stop on top to check truck regardless..while the ones who aren't fly by so keep your eyes open.

Thanks to the UDOT for your quick reaction to our safety

This is devastating to the propane and propane accessories industry. We will probably lose some customers to charcoal, especially the ones who will be stuck in traffic for hours.

My office is near the site as well, and as the number of firetrucks and police cars that drove past our office increased, our curiosity rose, we knew that something serious was up. I'm SO glad that no one was hurt and that nothing blew up. It's unfortunate that the seemingly inexperienced driver didn't plan the corner very well-which blows my mind that a person would't think to gauge that oh they have TWO tanks, filled with PROPANE, maybe I should go even SLOWWWWWER on a CORNER. But the brakes may have already been burning down that steep Parley's Canyon grad....it's really too bad. :(

RE: Angie

So glad that no one was hurt? The driver being critical doesn't count? Just because he's a bad driver, cut him some slack.

The LDS church is helping out as it always does. We are leading the charge. Get on your phone list as always.

And, in typical fashion, one person is self-righteously boasting about the selfless service of many. Wasn't there something about not letting the left hand know what the right is doing?
