A tanker truck allegedly speeding through Sweetser Circle in Everett early Wednesday rolled over and spilled a river of burning gasoline into a residential neighborhood, torching 21 cars, setting a pair of three-deckers ablaze, and sending panicked residents fleeing.
Thursday, a day after the crash, residents of the third floor of one of the destroyed buildings returned to the scene. At left, Christina Lonardo (left) and John Bertoncini (middle) talked to Everett Police Lieutenant James Gabriel.
