Two weekends ago was heading down the mountain from skiing when all the traffic ahead of me started to slow down. We came around a corner and there was a huge fire up ahead. The fire covered the two lanes on my side of the road and reached about 30 feet in the air. There was a slew of fire trucks already there when all of sudden the color of the flames changed from orange to very bright yellow. So I said to myself that looks like magnesium burning. Apparently there was ice on either the Explorer or the T1 slid into the other. On that stretch of the average speed is aroud 65MPH. It was the T1 that was on fire, hence the yellow flame. I did not get to see the vehicles except for a brief shot on the news of the T1. Tront end was bashed in 2 foot and of course totally gutted by the fire. There was 2 people in the T1 and 2 in the Explorer. The 2 in the T1 walked away and one person died in the Explorer. Just another story, did not want to spread gloom.
