Semi-Truck Accident on Highway near Wichita Sends Four to Hospital with Burn Injuries

Semi and big rig trucks present one of the greatest dangers on the highways today. Because of the sheer size and power of these monster vehicles, accidents almost always lead to either serious injury or death. Of course any vehicle of significant size is going to be a danger and dump trucks are no exception.

A tragic rear-end collision between an SUV and a semi-truck sent four men to the hospital with severe burn injuries.  Reports from the KHP indicate the SUV suffered a tire blow out on the highway near Wichica.  An approaching semi-truck, unable to determine the SUV's speed, hit the vehicle from behind.  The collision triggered an explosion in the gas line.  The four passengers of the SUV were all hospitalized with severe burn injuries.
