A vehicle defect is being blamed for a pumper truck catching on fire and burning the driver Friday morning in Laclede County.
The highway patrol says it happened at Hemlock Road and Route-Double-Y about two-and-a-half miles northeast of Lebanon.
49-year-old Michael Ebner, of Lebanon, was the driver and suffered moderate injuries.
He was treated at a nearby hospital.
