MIAMI-DADE COUNTY
β€” A semi-truck fire shut down all southbound lanes of Interstate 95 early Friday morning in southeast Miami-Dade, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.

Troopers and fire crews responded to the scene near Northwest 79th Street, where the truck was found engulfed in flames. Fire rescue units performed foam operations to extinguish the fire, and city crews also responded.

All regular southbound lanes of I-95 were closed as emergency crews worked the scene. Traffic was being diverted into the express lanes, allowing vehicles to move past the area, though congestion was reported.

Drivers heading southbound through the Little River area were advised to seek alternate routes, including U.S. 1 or U.S. 441, while crews continued operations.

No injuries were immediately reported. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
