Authorities have identified the truck driver killed in Wednesday's fiery tanker explosion on Briley Parkway near County Hospital Road as 29-year-old Daniel Moss of Wallace Road. Police said Moss appeared to drift to the right before overcorrecting, causing the tanker to roll over and explode. The tanker was hauling gasoline and was quickly engulfed in flames. The flames quickly caught the surrounding field on fire, creating a plume of black smoke visible from as far away as LaVergne. Fire department officials on the scene determined it would be unsafe to try and extinguish the blaze. Three hours later, the extremely hot fire burned out. There were no other vehicles involved in the crash and Moss, who worked for American Highway Transport based in Knoxville, was the only person killed.
