June 8 (UPI) — Travelers on a Tennessee highway were treated to an unusual show when a truck caught fire, causing its load of fireworks to go off in the roadway.
The Chattanooga Fire Department said on social media that crews responded alongside the Tri-Community Fire Department and police on Saturday night when a truck caught fire on northbound Interstate 75, just past the Ooltewah exit.
The truck’s load of fireworks were seen going off in different directions. The display was caught on camera by witnesses.
“Interstate traffic was stopped in both directions while firefighters extinguished the fire,” the department said.
No injuries were reported from the incident. The cause of the fire was not revealed.
