BOARDMAN, Ohio -  Fire destroyed the cab of a tractor trailer in Boardman Tuesday morning.

Witnesses told authorities that the truck burst into flames near the Giant Eagle Get Go on route 224 at about 6 a.m.

The driver was able to escape unharmed. Investigators tell 21 news that the situation could have been worse because the truck runs on compressed natural gas, which is much more flammable that diesel fuel.

There's still no word on what caused the explosion.
