Robert Fergu son, a truck driver, survived a diesel tanker crash on U.S. 93 near Boulder Dam after his rig struck a rock wall to avoid oncoming traffic. He was reported in very satisfactory condition at Boulder City Hospital with first and second degree burns after 9,000 gallons exploded and burned. The truck and trailer lost brakes on a long downgrade and halted when rear wheels hooked onto broken rail, preventing a plunge into the Colorado River 1,000 feet below.
