Trailer catches fire on Indiana Toll Road overnight

Posted:

By Matt Gard, Morning Show Producer - email

Crews in St. Joseph County are trying to figure out what started a trailer fire on the Indiana Toll Road Tuesday morning.

It happened in the eastbound lane near the exit at mile marker 72 at 3:22. Police cruisers were out there while fire crews worked to put the blaze out, but the fire is not expected to cause any traffic problems throughout Tuesday.

Troopers tell FOX 28 the trailer was unloaded when it caught fire, so the blaze did not cause very extensive damage.
