Emergency crews are responding Wednesday afternoon to a vehicle fire involving a Kimble trash truck along Interstate 77 near the Fulton Road exit by the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Flames and heavy smoke could be seen rising from the truck along the highway as firefighters worked to contain the blaze. The incident was reported shortly before the afternoon commute, drawing a significant emergency response.
Traffic is moving slowly in the area and drivers should expect delays in both directions of I-77 while crews remain on scene. Authorities are asking motorists to avoid the area if possible and to move over for emergency responders.
It was not immediately clear whether anyone was injured. The cause of the fire has not yet been determined.
This is a developing story and will be updated as more information becomes available.
