A food truck caught on fire while traveling on a major highway in Illinois, and unfortunately, the tasty meals didn't make it.

Food Truck Catches On Fire On An Illinois Tollway

I have driven on I-90 so many times in my life, I believe I could navigate the busy highway blindfolded. My mom lives in the suburbs, so I make the trip in to see her all the time. Thinking about it, the road is pretty easy to drive on because it's pretty much a straight shot.

If I had to describe I-90 in one word, it would be "crazy." I'm not even kidding. It doesn't matter when you're on it; there's always a bunch of traffic. It's filled with maniacs and speed demons. I've experienced so many insane things while on that major highway, nothing surprises me. I could probably write a book about it.

The last time I went to visit my mom, of course, something crazy happened. There was a food truck on the side of the road, and it had caught on fire. By the time we passed the incident, the danger was over. Unfortunately, all the tasty food was burned up. I couldn't even imagine the smell. Luckily, no one was injured.
