In Letcher County, a truck and horse trailer caught on fire yesterday morning on US 119 South near the top of Pine Mountain. The incident happened around 2am. The truck driver began to experience mechanical problems and stopped the vehicle at the scenic overlook towards the top of the mountain. He could already see flames under the hood when he got out. The vehicle had five people in all and they were all able to escape and remove all four horses from the trailer. Just after everyone escaped, the entire truck and trailer were consumed with flames. They had been transporting the horses from Illinois to a horse stable in Partridge. The incident is being investigating by the Whitesburg Police Department.
