The impact ruptured the fuel tanks, causing a massive fire that engulfed both trucks within minutes. Rescue crews used an excavator to free the driver who was trapped in the twisted cabin; he suffered severe burns and was hospitalized in critical condition. The second driver was killed in the blaze.
