Semi Bursts Into Flames On I-70

GEORGETOWN, Colo. (CBS4)- A semi burst into flames on Interstate 70 which caused some big traffic tie-ups on Thursday.

Traffic cameras from the Colorado Department of Transportation show what was left of the cab, a charred mess, and the trailer, damaged by the fire.

The fire broke out just before noon in the eastbound lanes of I-70 near the Georgetown exit.

Those lanes were closed for about an hour and a half until crews were able to remove the semi from I-70.

What caused the fire is being investigated.
