A truck carrying propane gas was pushed off Interstate 93 in Bow, New Hampshire, on Tuesday, leading to the highway's temporary closure, officials said.
The truck was pushed off the road about 1:37 p.m. by a tractor-trailer being driven by a Connecticut man as traffic slowed for a pair of vehicles in the breakdown lane at Mile 33 headed north, according to state police.

The rear-ended propane truck veered off the highway and onto its side in the median, igniting a small brush fire while the tanker started to leak the gas, police said.
That led to the highway's temporary closure while a hazmat team and other crews ensured the crash was safe and righted the truck. It's not yet known how much of the 128 gallons of propane the truck was carrying leaked out.
