And every once in awhile it would leap across my bow with a frustrated growl , plow through the field to the just - as - backed - up frontage road and into the snarling midst of others just like itself . The fire of the eighteen - wheeler was so intense that it damaged the road itself . When I finally drove by the scene of the accident , they were repaving some of the highway . The truck had been burned so badly it had fallen to pieces that they picked up with a bulldozer .

Answer: None of the above choices .The fire from the accident was so hot that it melted part of the highway .The road was very old and badly needed repaving .The road was falling in pieces due to neglect over the years .
