An 18-wheeler carrying a full load of caught fire Sunday night around 11 p.m. in Terrell, TX.
The semi-truck carrying about 48,000 bottles of wine was headed from California to Georgia on Interstate 20 when the driver realized his tractor was on fire. Luckily, the trucker was able to get out of the truck safely. The fire consumed the cab of the truck, the trailer and a half-acre grass around it. The truck was virtually melted before firefighters were able to extinguish the flames. All eastbound lanes of I-20 were close for a couple hours due to the truck accident.
