Washington State Walmart Camper blows himself up

One injured, no deaths...lucky fella!
Good thing that rear window blew out- the concussion might have killed him otherwise.

Hrivnak said there was propane, white gas, and gasoline in the RV. A propane lantern inside might have caused the explosion by igniting vapors from the fuels, he said.

  • Perhaps he was doing everything he knew in order to keep warm. Sometimes we forget how good some of us have it. What if he had a touch of dimentia?

  • I'm with Steve S on this one.

    One of our neighbors down the street got busted a few years ago for a meth lab in his van. Idiot pulled over on the side of I-5 and started cooking. Cop stops by to make sure he's ok and . . . jail time!
  • Wow this guy sure was a slob! I would vote no on a meth lab, more like a washed up hippie that was stoned and careless.
  • Keep us updated on this. Could it have been a mobile Meth lab? There was an explosion like that in a MH in TN.
