SAN ANTONIO -- Fire crews had to be called after two tanker trucks caught fire during a routine fuel exchange, officials said. It happened at Sun Coast Resources in the 5800 block of IH-10 near Foster Road on the east side.

According to fire officials, it was just before midnight when the fire started. One of the truck drivers told officials that he looked in the rear-view mirror and saw flames before he jumped from the cab and called the fire department.

There were no injuries reported. A hazardous materials crew was called to the scene. Arson investigators are now looking into the cause of the fire.
