ALLEN PARK, Mich. – An Allen Park man is accused of setting 25 semi trucks on fire across eight different states, spanning all the way from California to Alabama.
Swift Transportation, a Phoenix-based commercial trucking company, hired investigators after 25 of its trucks were set on fire between June 2020 and September 2022.
Company officials said all the fires happened overnight while the semi trucks were parked or stopped at gas stations or rest areas. The fires always started in or on the trailer, typically near the tires, authorities said.
