The driver was able to safely get out of the truck before the trailer became engulfed in flames. The fire closed the southbound lanes of I-29 for several hours. The trailer was loaded with rubber mats headed to Illinois from Jamestown.
The truck driver, Geral Carlos Sala Romero, was cited for driving with a suspended license.
