Unintended Pork Roast When Truck Crashes Near San Antonio

20 tons of ham destroyed

A fiery truck crash in South Texas has destroyed about 20 tons of ham in an unintended pork roast along the side of a road.

Authorities said the crash happened Sunday night near Boerne, about 25 miles northwest of San Antonio. The driver of the 18-wheeler was not hurt.

Investigators believe a problem with a tire, possibly a blowout, caused the fire. Authorities said the trucker pulled over and used a fire extinguisher to try to put out the flames, but the fire engulfed the rig.

The truck was hauling cut-up portions of hogs.
