Truck Explodes in Delaware

A truck blew up on Sunday morning on Milltown Road.

Megan O’Donnell Clements husband went out to move their other cars away from the burning truck.

She told the Wilmington News Journal that normally her husband would have been out starting his truck at 8 a.m. in the morning.

But this time she said he had slept in instead of being in the vehicle and starting the engine.

Fire Marshals told the paper that they believe the truck’s battery caused the fire that led to the explosion.
