A car slammed into a dump truck and burst into flames. Eyewitnesses clocked the sedan going about 60 mph, weaving in and out of traffic right up until the crash.
The Redmond Police Department said the dump truck driver, Daniel Bachman was turning right into a driveway. Bachman told us he had his blinker on, checked his mirrors, and saw the coast was clear. When he was mid-turn, the white car hopped into the right lane and tried to zip past his truck, but instead, the car slammed right into the truck’s diesel fuel tank.
Bachman said he didn’t know the car was on fire until he got out of his truck, walked around to the other side, and saw flames hitting 6 feet tall. The car was wedged under his truck, right in the gas tank, in a now burning puddle of diesel. Bachman’s boots even caught a light because the fire burned too hot.
Bachman jumped back into his burning truck and threw it in reverse to give the other driver, a 54-year-old man, an escape route. Bachmna said the man then ran and hid. The now totaled truck is the first Bachman bought to start his own dump truck business, Bachman Trucking LLC. He’s had it less than a year, and the burned-up frame is all that’s left of the businesses he and his wife poured their hearts into.
