A semi-trailer carrying toilet paper caught fire early Friday on a highway in southeast Australia, police said.
Firefighters were able to save the prime mover and first trailer, but not the B trailer that was carrying a load of toilet paper.
The exact amount being transported was unclear. But the fire comes amid panicked shoppers around the world hoarding toilet paper over the outbreak of COVID-19.
