HARDEMAN COUNTY, TN -

(WMC-TV) – The eastbound lanes on Highway 64 are back open after being shut down for about eight hours following a crash involving a semi-truck.

The crash happened on the highway in Hardeman County.

The driver of the truck was not injured and was on the scene walking around.

When his semi-truck crashed, it caught fire. Fire crews were able to put that fire out quickly.

In the photos sent to us by our news partner, The Bulletin-Times, a welder can be seen cutting apart a concrete barrier in order to free the semi-truck and clean up the crash site.
