    On I-24 in Smyrna, Tennessee this morning. Flames could be seen for miles. No word on why it happened or the name of the trucker. 20181206_224642(0).jpg

    Did you see the name of the company?
    OK, it was hauling poly oil which isn't flammable. Only the tractor burned.
    It's a Dana truck. The driver just drove off the road and didn't turn over.

    Just caught it as I was heading to bed. WSMV has a good story about it, but you covered most of it. The guy had just made a delivery, and ran off the road around 8 am into the woods and hit trees. The crash ruptered his fuel tanks. Could be numerous reasons.
