Freeway fondue after cheese truck goes up in flames
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - A tractor-trailer hauling blocks of cheese erupted in flames today, turning much of its cargo into freeway fondue.
No one was hurt, but boxes containing hundreds of kilograms of provolone, cheddar, American and other cheeses clogged the burned truck and littered the side of Interstate 80 north of downtown Sacramento.
Truck driver Frank Barker, who pulled over at 3:45 a.m. this morning when he saw smoke coming from under his truck said the truck was burned pretty quick.
Barker said he tried to put out the flames with a fire extinguisher, but the fire was too big.
He gave up and rescued his dog, who was travelling with him from Salt Lake City to the San Francisco Bay area.
