Prayers please - - Last update
Folks, my friend's son and son-in-law were driving a fuel tanker and crashed just north of Dallas in the Lake Dallas area of I-35E. It crashed and is burning, and has I-35 shut down both directions.
All the news we got was that one man jumped from the truck cab and was on fire. Nothing about a second truck driver, but one report said two people were careflighted with burns. We don't know if that meant both of them got out of the truck, or it was one out of the truck and someone else.
Pray for Rick Webb's son and son-in-law. I'm sorry, but I don't know their names.
Thanks,
Danny
Update,
Rick's son Matt was burned over 98% of his body. He climbed out of the truck and ran across the interstate on fire from head to toe. They tried and tried to put the flames out and couldn't, and someone finally got them put out with a fire extinguisher. They've been told he will not survive.
His son-in-law (I think his name is Ron, but not sure) is in critical condition. Please remember this family in your thoughts and prayers.
Last Update.
Matt Webb, Rick's son, passed away last night with God's mercy. He was able to see his family before he passed, but they are traumatized by their last sight of him. He was driving and being trained by his brother-in-law, Roland Mattern, Rick's son-in-law.
Matt was 27, Roland is about the same age, maybe a little younger.
Roland is burned over 33% of his body, but they expect him to survive. Both Roland's and Matt's wives were pregnant. Please remember all of these folks in your prayers.
Rick wants to thank everyone who remembers his family in their prayers and asks that you continue to pray.
I also thank you.

The doctors are telling them it's better if he doesn't, and they are positive he won't. They have asked permission to sedate him out of the pain. His skin is gone from his face and his torso, and his lungs are seared.0 -
That's sad, heff.
I admire fuel tanker drivers and they have my respect and admiration.
Lately, we've seen many accidents involving tankers.
Like motorcycle accidents, more often than not, it's not the trucker's fault.0 -
