I-70 Closure

A two-trailer semi truck hauling hazardous material on I-70 in the mountains burst into flames this morning, shutting down the interstate.  It happened around 2:00 a.m. in the westbound lanes.  The state patrol says Hazmat crews contained the materials, including corrosive and flamable materials, to the immediate area.  All but one westbound lane were reopened about an hour later.
