Monroe IN : One person killed Two semi trucks crash, catch fire on interstate 75 Monroe about 10am wednesday on April 30th 2014.

Interstate 75 at Laplaisance Road in Monroe County is open again after crews cleaned up debris from a fatal semi-truck crash and fire.

The crash happened about 10 a.m. Wednesday near the Dunbar Road bridge. Michigan State Police troopers are at the crash scene. They confirm at least one person was killed in this fiery crash.

Buddy Miller is a truck driver who was stuck in the traffic jam created by this crash.

You see the tail end of the semi, a bunch of police officers surrounding him. Lights are going off. Don't see anymore fire trucks. They kept coming back and forth. I think they were running out of water," he said.

At about 10:50 a.m. when Local 4 talked with him, Miller said he had been stuck in the traffic for about an hour or an hour and 1/2.

We saw the smoke from a distance. The closer we got it got worse. When the fire truck showed up we saw the smoke changing colors," said Miller.
