Footage from the scene on Interstate 75 near Ooltewah showed a huge cloud of sparks and rockets emerging from a trailer of a truck as a crowd watched from an overpass.
The local volunteer fire department said in a statement: ‘The trailer was full of fireworks, all of which became involved in the fire and exploded during the incident.’ It added that the devices ‘were going off in different directions, endangering drivers’ but that no one was injured in the incident, which was quickly brought under control by first responders
