Vehicle Fires and Accidents Cause Traffic Delays

Multiple vehicle incidents have caused significant traffic delays across various interstates in the U.S. A vehicle fire on eastbound I-64 near the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel caused two miles of backup, though lanes were cleared by late afternoon. Meanwhile, a tractor-trailer accident on I-81 North in Botetourt County has resulted in a two-mile backup, with one lane closed. In Taunton, Massachusetts, a Waste Management trash truck fire disrupted traffic at Route 140 and Route 24, although no injuries were reported. Additionally, a crash involving an Amazon tractor-trailer on I-40 in Guilford County is slowing down traffic, and a garbage truck crash on I-82 in Yakima has led to lane closures due to oil spills. Authorities are actively responding to these incidents and investigating their causes.
