Info from Licensor: "Traffic on I-75 was stopped, as a truck carrying fireworks caught on fire and exploded in an unintended daytime firework "show" over the span of an hour. The truck burned completely. Firemen hosed the truck once the explosions quieted down. Our car was one of the very first stopped vehicles in the lanes across from the burning truck. The Tri-Community Volunteer Fire Department said no one was injured, but as a precaution, both northbound and southbound lanes of I-75 were temporarily shut down due to the ongoing firework explosions."
