A giant electric transformer slid off a semi-truck on eastbound I-70 in Mesa County, blocking the busy interstate.
"The transformer began to leak fuel and ignited for a short time before being extinguished," the Colorado State Patrol said.
No one was injured in Saturday's accident west of De Beque, on the Western Slope.
"The semi began to navigate through a curve, causing its load, a large transformer, to shift," the patrol said." Once the load shifted, it caused a tie-down chain to break."
