Semi-truck cabin bursts into flames on Kentucky highway

A semi-truck cabin burst into flames in Bowling Green, Kentucky, on Friday morning (31 March), prompting the closure of southbound Interstate 65.

Footage shared by Twitter user @trash_bae__ shows the vehicle pulled over on the highway as the blaze rages and a thick column of black smoke blows in the rain.

"Oh shoot, I hope they got out of there,” a voice says

Warren County Emergency Management sent an alert warning that southbound I-65 was shut down and advised drivers to find an alternate route.

All lanes were reopened shortly after 10:30am.
