50 Sick After Chemical Truck Crash

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,154331,00.html

BELO, W.Va. — A truck carrying barrels of a chemical crashed and burst into flames, killing the driver and sickening nearly 50 emergency workers who were exposed to the fumes.

The tractor-trailer crashed at about 11:50 p.m. Thursday on a four-lane highway. The highway remained closed in both directions Friday morning.

"It appears the truck's brakes caught on fire and caused the trucker to lose his brakes as the truck was coming off the grade," Deputy K.E. Ball (search) of the Mingo County (search) Sheriff's Department said Friday.
