Driver Recovering After Fiery Crash

A truck driver is recovering at a Pittsburgh hospital after his tanker truck crashed and burst into flames. Police on Friday identified the driver as 59-year-old Edward Niederriter of Erie. He is listed in stable condition at Western Pennsylvania Hospital's burn unit in Pittsburgh. Niederriter was driving a tanker filled with up to 15,000 gallons of gas when the truck crashed Thursday night in Venango Township. The tanker burst into flames that could be seen as far away as Lake Erie.
Police say Niederriter was driving too fast at the time of the crash.
