Fiery crash kills trucker, snarls traffic Fiery crash kills trucker, snarls traffic 6/26/07 Munster Times, IN Quote: MICHIGAN CITY | A fiery three-semitrailer wreck Monday afternoon killed a truck driver and paralyzed traffic on Interstate 94. Eastbound lanes were closed from 1 to 8:30 p.m. as police officers, firefighters and hazardous materials crews cleaned up charred wreckage less than two miles from the Michigan border. Westbound lanes also were closed for two hours after the wreck. At 5 p.m., crews still were trying to pull the driver's body from the burned semi cab, said John Sullivan, LaPorte County chief deputy coroner. Neither the LaPorte County coroner nor the Indiana State Police released the dead driver's name Monday night. A state trooper said at 9:45 p.m. investigators didn't know the dead driver's identity and failed to reach the driver's trucking company. Just before the crash at 12:55 p.m., vehicles idled in eastbound lanes as they waited to travel a construction zone in Michigan, said Indiana State Police Sgt. Wanda Clay. Two semis were stopped as a third semi approached. article continues

I came home this afternoon on I-94, and saw that there was a spot from an obvious vehicle fire, wondered what the story was behind it. Looked from the pavement damage like it was a pretty good sized fire.
