A man who was driving his pickup truck through a central Arkansas Burger King drive-thru has suffered severe burns after his pickup truck exploded at the window.
Ron Daniel said that he had just picked up a propane tank and decided to stop for a couple of burgers in the town of Beebe, near Little Rock, on Friday when he suddenly heard a hissing sound.
He realized the propane tank he had in the back of the truck was leaking and so he went to try and turn the tank's valve off.
