A truck carrying wheat caught fire on the Bruce Highway near Bajool after two of its tyres blew.
Two Rockhampton fire crews and the Bajool rural brigade were called to the scene, the Bulletin reported.
It is thought the rear tyre on the driver’s side blew first, but that the driver was unable to pull over so another also blew.
Both tyres caught fire.
A Queensland Fire and Rescue Service spokeswoman said the vehicle was well alight, but crews were able to extinguish the blaze.
It is unknown if the truck driver sustained any injuries.
