Interstates and highways can be a great way to travel somewhere much faster than by taking city or county roads, but they do come with some inherent risks. Because of the high speeds and high volumes of traffic there is an increased chance of an accident, traffic jams, etc. The usefulness, efficiency, and the rewards still outweigh the risks but it is definitely something to keep in mind.
In this intense highway cam footage, a dump truck can be seen traveling down I-77. The truck suddenly and inexplicably veers off the right side of the road and crashes right into the back of an Ohio DOT vehicle. The collision and whatever chemicals or supplies the truck had on board caused it to erupt into a massive fireball. Two people were reportedly injured but no fatalities were reported. The Department of Transportation is still investigating the cause of the accident to find out exactly what happened.
