Truck catches on fire in drive-thru at New Albany McDonald's

A man who was inside the restaurant at the time said he heard a "big boom" and saw thick black smoke coming out of a pickup truck in the drive-thru.

NEW ALBANY, Ind. — A McDonald's in New Albany was damaged after a pickup truck caught on fire in the drive-thru Tuesday morning.

New Albany dispatch confirmed that crews responded to a fire sometime around 9 a.m. at the McDonald's on State Street.

John Fogel was at the scene when the fire started and posted a video on Facebook. The video shows a burgundy truck in the drive-thru lane with smoke pouring out of its engine.

"I was inside the McDonald's, and I heard a big boom in the building, and I saw the truck was on fire," Fogel said in a phone interview. 

One side of the building was damaged and one of the windows in the drive-thru was broken by the explosion. The drive-thru was closed down for a few hours but reopened Tuesday afternoon. 

No one was injured in the incident and it is unclear what caused the truck to catch on fire.
