Thanks Thomas. The truck crash with lithium batteries and fire and lane closures is similar to what happened recently in Washington State - a semi-truck carrying lithium batteries caught fire and shut down hwy I-90 in Washington State for hours on 7/9/24.
These type fires are hard to handle. On major hwys, one of the first priorities is to get the damaged vehicles moved to the side or towed away as soon as possible. But lithium battery fires are extra hot, and fumes are toxic, and they take hours to put out, and even then there's a danger of re-ignition. Even tow truck companies are wary of hauling them off until they're sure it's safe.
