PHOENIX — Fire crews are working to extinguish a truck fire on fire on Interstate 10 near Van Buren Street. The fire broke out Saturday night after 7 p.m.

The truck is an Amazon truck, according to witnesses on scene.

The westbound HOV lane of Interstate 10 at the State Route 51 and Loop 202 Red Mountain “Mini-Stack” interchange has reopened, according to ADOT.

ADOT said there is no estimate for when the roadway will reopen.

Crews are working to remove the truck. A trooper working the crash said it was too big to tow and would have to be cut into pieces in order to be removed.
