He walked away

Ka-BOOM.

A gasoline tanker crashed and burst into flames near the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge on Sunday, creating such intense heat that a stretch of highway melted and collapsed.

Flames shot 200 feet in the air, but the truck's driver walked away from the scene with second-degree burns.

I predict with some confidence that when they say 'walked away' they mean 'ran like the dickens'.
