Original Toronto Star caption: Rivers of flame close parkway: Firemen appear to be surrounded by flaming gasoline from a gasoline tanker-truck trailer which broke loose on the northbound lanes of the Don Valley Parkway this afternoon; spewing 4;000 gallons of flaming fuel. All vehicles were halted and police rerouted rush-hour traffic. Flames soared 70 feet from wrecked trailer; 600 yards north of Don Mills Rd. exit. Police said trailer hit centre rail and ripped open. No one was injured.
