A police officer in Marietta, Oklahoma, rescued a sleeping man on Monday when a semi-truck he was parked close to went up in flames.
Love County Assistant Emergency Manager David Bond said a semi carrying seven vehicles was exiting I-35 when one of its rear tires suddenly blew out, KXII reported.
Once the driver pulled into a Valero parking lot, the tire caught on fire and spread over the rest of the hauler. The flames damaged the cars the semi carried and spread to other vehicles nearby.
