Northbound Driver Loses Control
Initial reports from the police in this accident indicate the driver of the truck was heading northbound when, for some unknown reason, they lost control of the vehicle. That caused it to veer off the side of the road before it struck a tree and, nearly instantly, burst into flames.
Luckily, in this situation, the three people in the vehicle were able to get out and did not have life-threatening injuries. A witness, who said she stopped to help get the driver and passengers out of the truck with the help of two others, reportedly took a photo of the truck after it was on fire. Police do not know what caused the accident in the first place.
