Beer Truck-REVISION

Hard News Story-Beer Truck
February 18, 2008

A Coors beer truck caught fire along yesterday afternoon on the Bay Bridge yesterday, shutting down the upper deck of the bridge and tying up traffic.

The beer truck driver was unaware that a tire from the trailer had become flat and began to spark. The sparks eventually caught the truck on fire in which the driver then pulled over. Fire fighters put the fire out by 2 p.m. This event shut down the entire section of the upper decks eastbound lanes including several westbound lanes.

Firefighters worked the rest of the afternoon clearing the truck from the roadway. It was finally cleared from the freeway at 5:52 p.m. that night.
