Maryland man killed in King George crash

A Maryland tow truck driver was killed yesterday in a two-vehicle crash in King George County.

According to Virginia State Police Trooper A.M. Bowen, who was called to the scene on Dahlgren Road, approximately two miles east of Route 610 or Indiantown Road at about 1:34 p.m., a 1995 International tow truck was traveling west on Route 206 when it crossed the centerline and struck a 1999 Ford F-250 traveling eastbound.

The driver of the tow truck, Ryan O. Robinson, 34, of Montgomery Village, Md., died at the scene. He was not wearing his seat belt, police said.

The driver of the F-250, David L. Warring, 37, of Fredericksburg, was injured in the crash and transported by ambulance to Mary Washington Hospital. Warring was released from the hospital.

He was wearing his seat belt at the time of the accident.

The cause of the crash is still under investigation.

you can throw a cigarette in a cup of gas and it will extinguish it. yes, the movies do lie. the vapor has a lower ignition point due to the oxygen levels in the air as well but in a ventilated area...like anywhere outside...no worries for vapor either. you can smoke all you want at a gas station safely...be careful when you light the cigarette though, a lighter will light it

ever tried fueling your car while the next guy over is smoking (posted by larryg , Dec. 30, 2009 10:17 am)    0 likes

Cigarette ignition of gasoline? (posted by TPKeller , Dec. 29, 2009 7:44 pm)    0 likes
Are you trying to tell me that the scene in "Payback" where Mel Gibson took out the mob guys by dropping his cigarette on to the leaking gasoline was a fraud??? Why do they have so many "No Smoking" signs at gas stations then?

the ignition point for gasoline is higher than a cigarette emits. in an open area it's nearly impossible to ignite the vapor either, which is the only threat a cigarette poses.
