A truck driver passed out behind the wheel and crashed into another tractor trailer, causing his cab to catch fire on Interstate 35. Amazingly, both drivers were able to walk away from the incident.
It happened on I-35 in Guthrie, Oklahoma, on Sunday evening. According to witnesses, a truck that was traveling south veered into the northbound lanes, through the highway median fence, and into another tractor trailer that was headed north.
The driver told responders that he had a medical emergency behind the wheel, causing him to pass out. After striking the southbound truck, his rig caught fire, eventually burning to the ground.
