A collision on a Canadian highway between a semi-truck and a pickup truck created impromptu, hour-long fireworks display that dazzled drivers for nearly an hour. 'It was almost like the Fourth of July,' Sergeant Mike Sargent, with Hope Royal Canadian Mounted Police , told CityNews. According to RCMP, at approximately 10 p.m. on Oct. 26, a semi-trailer rear-ended a parked pickup truck towing a trailer of fireworks near Hope, British Columbia.
Monica De Roo, who was driving on Highway 1 with her husband, told local outlet CTV News that the explosion was aggressive, loud and 'definitely scary.' 'Just as we approached it, boom, all of it started going off again. And we just had to slam on the gas and try and book it through. It was just wild to see,' De Roo told CTV News.
