A driver of a Lays potato chip delivery truck is okay, but the cargo area of the truck he was driving appears to be toast following a fire on the Millstream overpass in Langford about 6:15 Monday morning.
The driver smelled smoke and pulled over and found a blaze inside the cargo area. He called 911 then tried to douse the flames using a fire extinguisher.
But the cardboard boxes containing the Doristos chips provided excellent fuel -- so by the time fire crews got there the truck was fully involved. And believe it or not, fire crews say the chips actually helped fuel the fire.
Traffic had to be diverted away from the area during the operation. The cause of the blaze is under investigation.
No word on if the chips were BBQ flavoured.
