and exploded on the six-lane Brooklyn-Queens Expressway near
Roosevelt Avenue Monday, January 16, 2006, in the Queens borough of New
York. Authorities did not know why the
truck overturned. The truck was carrying 8,000 gallons of diesel fuel,
said Jarrod Bernstein, a spokesman for the city's Office of Emergency Management. The
explosion shut down the expressway in both directions as well as a
nearby subway line.[AP] |
