DALLAS — A man narrowly escaped from his pickup truck before it burst into flames Thursday morning on Interstate 635 near Midway Road.
Dallas Fire-Rescue units responded to the scene around 11:15, the department told News 8. The driver of a Ford Ranger pickup truck told firefighters he pulled over after seeing smoke coming from his truck.
Dramatic video sent to News 8 by viewer Steve Crozier shows the truck, already engulfed in flames, explode while a man waves his arms outside the vehicle.
“The bulk of the flames were put out pretty fast, but the truck was a total loss,” DFR spokesman Jason Evans said.
Evans said a cause of the vehicle fire was not known. No injuries were reported.
