Everyone should be careful when there's accident even more so when it's Tank Truck.

You can see it just trying to get out of the way/to safety, But the problem is propane reaches a vapor state from liquid, it is near invisible. The vapor will float along the ground and the engine heat alone from that car was enough to cause a flash fire.

Remember when there's accident like this stay calm, go to safety and call 911.
