VIDEO: After flying through the air and crashing to the ground in a flaming semi cab, Daniel Joseph Mahon of Philadelphia suffered only a few cuts, scrapes and bruises. “As soon as I had impact, I had flames shoot out the side of the truck,” said Mahon, 52, as his bandaged fingers worked a cell phone moments after scrambling from the burning truck. “I must have ruptured a tank. Then the truck rolled down the driver’s side. I tried to kick the windshield out, couldn’t get out that way, so I climbed up and tried to avoid the flames the best I could,” Mahon said. Witnesses at the scene thought Mahon had perished when his truck burst into flames. The other semi driver — 68-year-old Curry Viverette Jr. of Ford Heights, Ill., whose semi overturned moments before Mahon’s crash — was also unscathed. Also uninjured were two passersby who had stopped to help Viverette from his truck. The crash happened around 9:15 a.m. on Interstate 380 just before the U.S. Highway 20 interchange outside Raymond. Viverette was headed northbound when his rig overturned as it entered a curve. “My truck told me that it was tired, and it wanted to go to sleep,” Viverette joked. The tractor and trailer overturned in the right shoulder.
