A car loaded with firecrackers catches fire, creating a spectacular sight

On June 6, spectators were treated to an early Fourth of July when a tractor-trailer caught fire on a Tennessee highway, sending pyrotechnics into the sky.

Sparks flew for several minutes, stopping traffic in both directions, as stunned onlookers captured the dramatic scene near downtown Chattanooga.

The local fire department, on the other hand, said that they were able to control it quickly without any injuries.

The truck trailer was “full of firecrackers” and were “going in different directions” after they all caught fire, the department added.
