A semitrailer caught on fire on Interstate 55 in Channahon.
At 5:51 a.m. Wednesday, troopers responded to a semitrailer fire on the southbound lanes of Interstate 55 at Route 6, which is in Channahon, according to a statement from Illinois State Police Trooper Jayme Bufford.
“It is unknown at this time how the fire started,” Bufford said.
The driver of the semitrailer was able to separate the trailer from the tractor after realizing the trailer was on fire, Bufford said.
No injuries have been reported.
The right lane of I-55 at the scene of the crash is blocked because of the trailer being unloaded, Bufford said.
The trailer that caught on fire was full of bread and buns, said Channahon Fire Protection District Deputy Chief Jeff Toepper.
He said the cause of the fire has not been determined.
Besides Channahon Fire Protection District, Troy Fire and Minooka Fire Protection Districts responded to the scene as well, Toepper said.
