Two men were found dead this week after a minivan carrying nearly 500 pounds of liquid meth — which authorities said had a street value of up to $3 million — crashed in a Texas neighborhood, prompting a federal drug probe and a hazmat response.
Cops and firefighters responded to the crash on Delga Street in Fort Wayne around 11:30 am Thursday and found the vehicle had slammed into a parked car before rolling into a nearby fence, CBS News reported.
The vehicle allegedly contained 10 buckets of the addictive drug, authorities said.
The man in the passenger seat was already dead.
First responders tried to save the driver with first aid, but he didn’t survive.
Neither have been publicly identified.
A Fort Worth firefighter exposed to the liquid methamphetamine was in good condition as of Friday, after getting treated at a hospital and is expected to soon be released, NBC-5 DFW reported.
The driver might have lost consciousness from exposure to toxic meth vapors before crashing, according to reports.
Investigators said the van was registered in Dallas and may have been part of a mobile meth lab operating between Dallas and Fort Worth.

Fun phone call to the insurance company
“Hello, I’d like to report my car accident.
It was parked, and it was hit by a car driven by a dead guy.
There was a dead passenger too.”
“Was his pinkie immobile? ( 60’s TV reference)”
Not them. They would have vaporized...
Drugs kill. M’kay.
The problem wasn’t the volume, it was the method.
You left out the departed and respected Ho Lee.
