A fire official says a pickup truck crashed into a tractor-trailer, setting off an explosion in the tractor- trailer’s fuel tank and killing the pickup driver.

Columbus fire Battalion Chief David Whiting says the pickup ran off the road and hit the fuel tank as the semi was waiting to pull out of a business entrance.
