Truck mounted Fireball

A truck mounted aerial lift burst into flames yesterday on the M1 motorway near Ourimba, between Sydney and Newcastle in Australia. Thankfully no one was injured in the incident.

The unit, mounted on a four axle chassis, was owned by rental company Boom Logistics. As the machine became hot the operator pulled over to the side of the road and got out the cab. After a while the machine burst dramatically into flames.

Amazingly traffic continued to pass by while the machine burned out of control, however fire fighters were soon on the scene and were able to extinguish the flames.
