Anthony described what he saw after speaking with MyPGNow.
“At the bottom of Microwave Hill a truck is off in the tree line, it’s burning up and there is probably going to be a closure at some point but I just figured you might be able to get the word out and let everyone know to be safe. It’s Highway 97 on the southbound side, just 10 minutes out of Hixon.”
