Fiery I-70 Crash
1 / 7
Flames engulf a tractor trailer rig on west bound I-70 between State Route 41 and US 40 Tuesday morning as members of the Springfield and Harmony Township fire departments battled the flames. The semi rolled over and burst into flames after striking another semi that was parked along shoulder of the highway. The driver of the burning semi escaped without injuries. The driver of the semi parked on the shoulder was transported to Springfield Regional Medical Center with non life-threatening injuries. The roadway was blocked for more than an hour while the accident was investigated and cleaned up. Bill Lackey/Staff
