SAN ANTONIO -- Debris in the road is being blamed for a fiery crash north of Downtown Thursday.

Police say a pickup pulling a trailer was heading east on Interstate 10 near Hildebrand around 2:00 p.m. Thursday, when it ran over a bar in the middle of the road. The bar punctured the truck's gas tank, causing the truck to burst into flames.

The driver's clothes caught fire, but he was able to put out the flames quickly and was not seriously injured.

Good thing know one got hurt! He jumped out and let it aim straight into that house, thank god the tree stopped the truck! Watch and see how long that black mark stays there with the tree uprooted...I wonder if the state is responsible for that too and not the company...
