276ds agoA tractor-trailer
carrying a large amount of fireworks caught fire Sunday, igniting the fireworks
– shutting down parts of I-287 South in Bridgewater.
New Jersey State Police
say the driver of the tractor-trailer pulled over around 10:30 p.m. after
apparently noticing the tire of a dolly he had on his trailer was on fire. The
cause of that is still unknown.
Those who were stuck
behind and couldn’t move when traffic came to a standstill got a free firework
show – from the trailer carrying thousands of pounds of fireworks.
Traffic was backed up
for miles Monday morning.
There is still no word
on whose fireworks they were or where they were heading. No injuries were reported.
