The tractor-trailer crashed at about 11:50 p.m. Thursday on a four-lane highway. The highway remained closed in both directions Friday morning.
"It appears the truck's brakes caught on fire and caused the trucker to lose his brakes as the truck was coming off the grade," Deputy K.E. Ball (search) of the Mingo County (search) Sheriff's Department said Friday.
