Twisted Tea Truck Fire Causes Interstate 93 Shutdown In NH

Flames engulfed the front of a Twisted Tea delivery truck as thick black smoke filled a commuter-less highway Thursday morning when Interstate 93 in Manchester had to be shut down to put out the blaze.

New Hampshire State Police reported about 7 a.m. that they had responded to a tractor trailer fire at Exit 7 in Manchester. The southbound lanes of the highway were completely shut down while emergency personnel put out the fire.

Police say there were no injuries in the fire and that the driver was able to get out of the truck prior to the fire starting.

The tractor trailer was removed and all lanes were reopened shortly before 9 a.m.
