Anybody You Know?

Gallup, New Mexico: This was heading west before Yellowhorse. An SUV towing an RV fully engulfed in fire.. 👀. Were they outrunning the flames?!

probably decided to keep moving until there was nothing left of the trailer so not to lose the SUV too.

The fire station is at the next exit.

Meanwhile, there's nothing like a 20 mile trail of flaming debris to shut down an expressway.

The two propane tanks haven't lit off yet, so there's more excitement to come.

Driver never looks in the rear-view mirror, because "What's behind me is not important!"...

All said and done, that is tragic.

It is what it is, and then it is what you make of it.

The driver had to be on drugs, the back of the SUV was already melting from the flames. Driving at 70mph doesn't do anything for the intense heat that fire is making, except making it hotter.

The gouts of fire off the passenger side say the propane tanks are quite merrily participating in the fire.
