Trailer catches fire on southbound I-295 near southbound SR-9B

A trailer attached to a semi-truck caught fire, shutting down all of southbound State Road-9B and one lane of southbound Interstate-295.

A trailer fire shut down all southbound lanes on State Road-9B near Interstate-295 Sunday, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.

FHP said a semi-truck was pulling the flatbed trailer, which was loaded with three vehicles, southbound on I-95 near SR-9B when the trailer caught fire. The fire spread from the rear axels to two of the vehicles on the trailer, FHP said.

The driver of the semi-truck brought the vehicle to stop in the gore area separating southbound I-295 from southbound SR-9B and disconnected the semi-truck from the trailer.

The Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department responded to the fire, shutting down all of southbound SR-9B and one lane of southbound I-295.

All lanes have since reopened, according to FHP.

No injuries were reported. The cause of the fire is unknown.
