Multiple Highway Fires Disrupt US, UK Traffic

A series of vehicle fires and traffic incidents caused major disruptions on highways in the US and UK. In California, a big rig fire on I-15 near Baker shut down all northbound lanes for several hours, with burning tires and debris complicating cleanup, but no injuries reported. A box truck fire on I-65 near Frankfort, Indiana, also halted northbound traffic and required diversions, though no injuries occurred. In the UK, a vehicle fire after a crash on the M11 led to two-hour delays and heavy congestion. In Detroit, a FedEx truck fire on the Lodge Freeway injured one person and impacted deliveries, while a fire on Route 9 in Spofford, New Hampshire, was quickly contained with no injuries. Additionally, a solo vehicle crash on Highway 101 in California resulted in no injuries but contributed to traffic delays.
