A truck driver escaped without injury after his truck caught fire on I-44 early Sunday morning.
The truck caught fire near the Eastbound 173 mile mark.
Doolittle rural fire protection district officials say the truck was carrying about 75-hundred pounds of copper wire.
Fire crews disconnected the tractor from the trailer, preventing fuel from catching fire.
The fire was caused by the truck’s brakes overheating and catching fire.
