I-70 West was closed for 5 hours because a semi hauling cars caught fire and burned. One of the cars caught fire somehow and it spread to the others and the semi. It happened at mile marker 3, which is 4 miles West of the US 41 exit. It was opened back up after 11, but took hours to get back to normal due the everything backed up behind the construction zone.
