A truck driver was treated for nervous shock after his rig caught fire on Highway 15 North near Mirabel Friday at about 1 p.m.

The truck had recently left a garage where it had undergone an oil change and was hauling a load of rocks when it caught fire.

Smoke and flames sprouted from the truck, leaving the vehicle a burnt-out shell.

The incident stalled northbound traffic for several kilometres above Highway 440 for many hours.
