Lanes are open again on Interstate 20 at Interstate 285 interchange after a tractor-trailer fire shut them down for hours.

The fire happened overnight. Firefighters say found a tractor-trailer fully engulfed after it collided with the highway barrier.

Crews confirmed the tractor-trailer was clear and no one was trapped. AFR says it worked to put the fire out while also managing a ruptured diesel fuel line.
