TOLEDO, Ohio — Several incidents caused traffic delays around northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan Tuesday morning, including several crashes.
On I-475 at U.S. 24 in Maumee, an Amazon semi truck caught on fire just before 6 a.m., causing bumper-to-bumper stand-still traffic while crews extinguished the fire.
The driver was taken to the hospital; their condition is currently unknown. Firefighters were able to put out the fire, but traffic continued to move slowly in that area for some time.
According to Perrysburg Township Fire, the truck was loaded with packages and pallets that burned and sometimes caused heavy smoke. A backhoe was used to break down the rest of the trailer.
In Toledo, a crash on Westbound I-475 at Corey Road is also causing delays. Crews are diverting traffic in that area.
A crash in Monroe County at I-75 Southbound and Luna Pier Road has caused crews to close the left and center lanes as well as the left shoulder.
On I-75 Northbound from Wood County into Lucas County, drivers are experiencing delays due to another crash.
