A semi fire on Interstate 75 caused miles of backed up traffic this afternoon.
Ohio State Highway Patrol and Bath Township Fire Department responded to a semi-truck on fire at mile marker 131 on I-75 southbound. According to the state highway patrol, the driver noticed smoke coming from under his hood. Officials said he did the right thing by pulling as far off the road as he could and jumping out. The fire engulfed the engine and cab of the truck before being put out.
As emergency crews put out the blaze, traffic stopped and backed up a few miles towards Napolean Road.
