Semi truck cab incinerated in fire on I-91

Published:

The cab of a semi truck was completely incinerated in a fire on Interstate 91 in Connecticut on Friday morning. 

The incident occurred on November 22nd at about 7:42 a.m. near Wethersfield, Connecticut. 

According to CSP News, the tanker truck hauling fuel caught fire on I-91 northbound near exit 24 and soon became fully engulfed. The truck driver was able to escape the cab unharmed, but the truck was completely destroyed. 

I-91 was shut down in both directions as crews worked to extinguish the flames, and officers worked to clear motorists from the immediate area due concerns over the flammability of the fuel. 

I-91 was completely reopened by 11:26 a.m. on November 22nd. The incident is still under investigation.
