BEEBE, Ark. — A man who was driving his pickup truck through a central Arkansas Burger King drive-thru has suffered severe burns after the vehicle exploded at the window.
Ron Daniel told KARK that he had just picked up a propane tank and decided to stop for a couple burgers Friday when he heard a hissing sound. He realized the tank was leaking so he went turn the tank’s valve off.
“The minute I stuck my hand in and touched it, it burst into flames,” he said.
Daniel, 78, said he walked a few feet away to wait for emergency services. Soon after, the truck exploded.
