Tractor-trailer driver charged in vehicle fire

Posted by The Patriot News July 01, 2007 09:47AM

State police charged a tractor-trailer driver with drunken driving early yesterday morning after the vehicle burst into flames. The 2005 Kenworth tractor was destroyed, police said.

Police said Martin was traveling north on Interstate 81 with a flat tire and continued driving until the tire became overheated and caught fire.

Martin pulled over to the shoulder, and got out of the truck before it was engulfed in flames, police said.

Police closed the highway for a short time until the fire was extinguished, but reopened one northbound lane until the truck was removed.
