COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – The Southbound lanes of I-69 south of Coldwater were shut down for several hours Wednesday afternoon into the evening after a semi trailer caught fire near mm 4.
The semi driver was able to unhook the tractor from the trailer before it became engulfed in flames and pull it from harms way.
Video of the early stages of the fire show the blaze started near the rear tires of the trailer indicating a possible issue with over heating breaks.
Both the trailer and it’s contents were destroyed. There were no reported injuries. That traffic back up at times was reported to be more than five miles long.
