    A major truck fire and explosion was reported at an Oklahoma truck stop on Friday morning.

    The incident occurred around 5 a.m. at a Love’s truck stop near Big Cabin, Oklahoma.

    Local outlet KTUL reports that a truck hauling 27,000 pounds of aerosol deodorant cans began experiencing brake trouble. After the truck driver pulled off, the tires and then the trailer reportedly caught fire.


    After the trailer caught fire, the deodorant cans started to explode, leaving a large amount of debris littered around the trailer, which was destroyed.

    Glad there were no injuries. Did it cover up the urine smell?

    The good news is that if you were parked at this particular Love's and you had to move because of the dynamite deodorant debacle, there's probably another Love's two miles away.

    That's it. Pull into a truck stop with a flammable load where you can cause even more damage and maybe even kill some people.
