A truck carrying 6,000 gallons of Scotch flipped over and caught on fire while navigating a New Jersey roadway on Tuesday.

Nobody was hurt, but the truck driver was transported to the hospital as a precaution, the New York Post reported.

The truck driver was trying to make a turn but clipped a telephone police and then hit a car, flipping its load in the process. That’s when the fire broke out, fire Chief Dan Gregan said in the Post.

It’s still not clear where the fire originated — with the fuel tank or with the whiskey, the Post said.
