SALT LAKE CITY — A tractor-trailer that caught fire near the Spaghetti Bowl on southbound I-15 blocked several lanes of traffic and forcing a number of drivers to take the collector ramp to avoid it during the height of the morning commuter rush.

It happened around 7 a.m. Friday morning.

UDOT traffic cameras showed the truck on the right-hand shoulder as police and fire vehicles blocked traffic to accommodate crews dousing the flames.

There was no immediate word on a cause.
