Breaking: 1 killed in Richmond fiery crash
From NBC12 News
One person is dead after a fiery crash between a car and a truck around 9:20 this morning in the 4700 block of West Broad Street.

Several people in that busy business district saw and heard the crash.

A cell phone picture taken by Jake Taylor moments after impact shows both vehicles caught on fire. The driver of the red car was trapped inside and died at the scene.

Police say the truck was headed east and the car was driving west.

Police are not releasing the name of the driver until they've notified his family.

That is very sad news, RIP ... it wasn't anyone on here (that has come out to the meets at least).

I don't think I had seen that car around, the accident was more towards downtown that out in the west end. FORZWIN might have seen him around.

Turbo + Summer tires + Wet road is not a good combo.

The explosion might be from a NOS kit?
