Description: January on the way home from one of my many trips to East Chicago in response to the lead situation there. This happened right in front of me. In fact, I called 911, requested hazmat specifically due to the fuel spill and tried to keep the driver calm until paramedics arrived. I thought I was going to crash into the semis trailer. I really didn’t know semis could defy the laws of physics in such a way.
