The Arizona Department of Transportation took to Twitter around 6 p.m. to report a truck on fire on Interstate 10 westbound near Goodyear Road.

The blaze, that sparked just west of the Gila River Bridge, caused several closures along I-10 during heavy traffic hours.

According to DPS, the driver is OK.

No additional information was immediately released. An investigation is ongoing.
