A 35-year-old man from Woodville was traveling the wrong way when his vehicle struck a hazmat tanker truck head-on. The resulting explosion and fire were so intense that the highway remained closed for hours as emergency crews from across the Beaumont area fought to contain the hazardous materials and the inferno.
