SUMMIT COUNTY, Utah — A semi-truck caught fire around 1:40 a.m. in Summit County Sunday morning.
Traveling along I-80, near mile point 175, a semi-truck caught fire due to unknown reasons.
Utah Highway Patrol says the fire in Summit County temporarily closed both lanes of eastbound traffic for approximately three hours.
