The Texas Department of Public Safety responded to a vehicle rollover that caught fire on North Highway 281 Thursday afternoon, according to DPS Public Information Officer Maria Montalvo.
A tractor-trailer transporting tires traveling south lost control, rolled over on the outside lane and caught fire on Highway 281 between Chapa Road and El Rucio Road.
The driver was not injured in the collision, Montalvo said.
Authorities closed the outside lane of the highway, but the inside lane remained open to allow traffic to flow.
