RICHLAND CO.—We received a set of photos of the wreck that was called “fiery” by those who were passing by the scene; according to these photos, there doesn’t look to be too much fire damage, if any. Here’s one:
Wreck on U.S. 50 at the Claremont turn
That FS truck would have gone UP if there had been a fire any bigger than perhaps a spurt of flames.
Our photog also advises that this wreck occurred well before 5:30, in clarification to what was originally published about it Sunday evening, 05.05.13.
We have more photos and are considering holding them for the print version.
We have NOT heard from Richland County authorities, even after requesting numerous times the information from the wreck.
More as we get it.
