The driver of a tanker truck that was involved in a crash and fire in Chicopee Friday morning works for the same company as the tanker involved in a spectacular tanker crash in Everett last December.

Both drivers worked for Abenaqui Carriers in North Hampton, New
Hampshire. In December, a tanker carrying gasoline burst into flames after rolling over on a traffic circle in Everett. The flames destroyed
two multi-family homes and dozens of cars.

The driver involved in this morning's crash in Chicopee was
taken to an area hospital. Police believe other drivers caused him to lose control on Interstate 91.
