FHP NEWS RELEASE:

A semi tractor-trailer was traveling west on the inside westbound lane of I-10 west of the 283 exit when the left steer tire suffered a blowout.

The vehicle traveled to the left and struck the guardrail before traveling across both westbound lanes where it came to final rest on the north shoulder. The driver was safely able to exit prior to the trailer loaded with cardboard caught on fire.
