Insane Video Shows Moment a Garbage Truck in Illinois Exploded

It is a miracle that no one was seriously injured. Insane video captures the moment when a garbage truck in Illinois exploded.

CBS Chicago has just shared video courtesy of the Arlington Heights Fire Department. Cameras were rolling as police and firefighters were responding to an incident. Watch as it happened.

The report says that two police officers and a firefighter were injured in the blast, but fortunately all have recovered. They say that the blast is believed to have been caused by heat in the garbage truck combining with natural gas in the tank.

I have to wonder where the garbage truck driver was when this blast happened, but there are no reports of injuries involving the driver or other bystanders.

This will be updated if new information is provided about what caused this crazy situation in Arlington Heights, Illinois.
