While we were at coffee at Denny's in the Flying J this morning, we noticed that westbound traffic on Interstate 40 was at a standstill.
We guessed that it was probably an accident and, if so, a semi-truck is likely to be involved. Seems like, more often than not, whenever there's an accident or incident on I-40, a semi-truck is involved.
Sure enough, we were told that a semi-truck fire was the cause about a quarter mile west of the bridge to Jamestown. There was a line of vehicles on the access road out of the Flying J.
Fortunately, the lane coming in was clear, so I went on that and got to the bridge and was able to make it home with no delay.
By the time I got to the top of the bridge, the fire was already extinguished.
I did manage to take a few photos:
