Trucks Burst Into Flames Following Louisiana Highway Collision

Two trucks collided on eastbound Interstate 20 near Shreveport, Louisiana this morning, resulting in a large fire that shut down the eastbound portion of the highway.

One of the trucks, an 18-wheeler, was reportedly broken down on the side of the road, when it was rear-ended by a work truck owned by Icenhower Oil and Gas. Thankfully no injuries have been reported. The driver of the parked truck was pulled out of the vehicle just before it went up in flames.

The fires lasted several hours until firefighters were able to extinguish them.
