I believe the driver of the car died later at the hospital in Omaha.

I do not beleive that any man portable fire extinguisher would have made any difference for the Buick Driver in this situation: ruptured fuel tank and many gallons of burning fuel? May as well pee on it......... If Mr. Buick Driver could not get out in a very few seconds, he's toast. ....... Stuff happens ....... Hang up and drive, so it does not happen to you.

I'd rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it. In my mind, it's worth a try to put the fire out.

--- Quote ---The Sarpy County sheriff's office says the truck was stopped because traffic was still tied up from a collision between two semi-trailers that happened around 6 a.m. The impact caused a fire in Shutters' car. Witnesses removed both drivers before the fire spread.

Sounds like maybe it wasn't the fire, but the sudden stop that ultimately caused the young man's death.

Hmmm ... that sounds like what they told us in jump school ... It's not the fall that kills you. It's the sudden stop at the end.
