Semi on fire on eastbound I-4

Additional Information

Hundreds of drivers got stuck on Interstate-4 in Orange County Monday after a semi burst into flames.

The fire happened along the eastbound lanes of I-4, near Kennedy Boulevard, at around 3 p.m. Monday.

Smoke billowed from the truck, which was loaded with bananas, and it took crews hours to put out the fire and get the truck off the road.

Eastbound traffic was backed up nearly 10 miles, all the way to John Young Parkway, until about 10 p.m. Monday.

Two westbound lanes were also shut down while crews cleaned up the mess.

There were no reports of any injuries.
