A tractor-trailer carrying toilet paper caught fire overnight in Hutchins, according to local officials.

The driver of the truck is OK, authorities told WFAA.

The fire shut down all lanes of westbound Interstate 20 around 4:15 a.m. near Interstate 45 in Hutchins, according to the Texas Department of Transportation.

The toilet paper, which appeared to be large rolls typical of commercial use, was scattered across the roadway. TxDOT officials said the tractor-trailer and the load of toilet paper "burned extensively," estimating it would take authorities "some time" to clean up.

Reports say it was excess toilet paper that was not needed by San Francisco.

there was another story on news showing a trailer truck crashed or something and toilet paper was strewn all over the roads-

Surprised it didn’t start the great ‘2020 toilet paper rush’

i had plastic to separate the back of the van from front in winter- to keep warm- and flicked a cigg out the window- didn’t see it fly back in- landed i n a fold of the plastic, and pretty soon I had to pull over from the fumes- my eyes were burning- thankfully it erupt into flames- just basically melted an area of it- -
