NEWS — Truck fire at Y causes major traffic problem

An 18-wheeler with a load of pork burned to the ground after a blow out Monday morning on Hwy. 90.

Initially, it was reported as an exploding fuel truck on social media. However, the vehicle suffered a blow out, started burning and an alert driver managed to pull the tractor away from the trailer before it also caught fire.

The fire caused traffic to be rerouted on Hwy. 90 for hours. The Texas Department of Public Safety is investigating the accident.
