Tractor-trailer carrying 34K pounds of live crabs catches fire on the interstate

A tractor-trailer carrying 34,000 pounds of live crabs caught fire on I-81 near Morristown, Tennessee, prompting the driver to park on the shoulder and detach the cab. Two-thirds of the live crabs were salvaged, and the off-ramp was closed before reopening later. No injuries were reported, and authorities attributed the fire to a rear trailer brake.
