No injuries were reported after a semi trailer became fully engulfed in flames on Interstate 70 early Tuesday morning, in rural Geary County.
Deputies responded to the area, east of Milford Lake Road just after 1:30 a.m., according to Rural Fire Chief Garry Berges. He says the driver, an Ohio man, reported his truck began to lock in the rear and realized his rear tires had caught on fire. The trailer, which was hauling approximately 30,000 pounds of french fries, was destroyed.
Berges says the total loss is estimated at $80,000.
