CORONA, Queens (WABC) -- A truck carrying propane tanks overturned and exploded in flames on a Long Island Expressway exit ramp in Queens.
The westbound truck flipped in the exit lanes to Queens Boulevard just after 12 a.m. Tuesday.
The driver of the flatbed truck told police he was cut off by another vehicle, and as he attempted to avoid that vehicle, the truck overturned and burst into flames.
It appears ice on the roadway may have contributed to the crash.
The truck was carrying 294 propane tanks, which went up in a fireball.
