TAMPA, Fla. — A vehicle fire on I-75 South (Milepost 244) led to heavy traffic and the temporary closure of Big Bend Road Ramp on Thursday night, according to Florida Highway Patrol (FHP).
Troopers responded to the vehicle fire shortly after 7:30 p.m., as fire crews battled the blaze that was likely due to a mechanical issue, according to FHP.
The ramp was reopened just before 1 a.m. Friday. And no one was injured.
