A car on fire at the end of an exit ramp of the Palmetto Expressway heading northbound shut down lanes and backed up traffic Wednesday morning.
The fire burned at the exit on Northwest 103rd Street.
Hialeah Fire Rescue said when they arrived, the driver and passenger were already outside the vehicle. The fire was put out, and no injuries were reported.
The cause of the flames was not immediately known.
Video of the scene showed smoke billowing from a vehicle as first responders worked around it, and then, a charred car at the end of the exit ramp.
Meanwhile, the Palmetto Expressway southbound also slowed to a crawl due to a crash at Okeechobee Road. Two lanes were blocked.
“We’re used to seeing bumper-to-bumper traffic on the Palmetto, right?” NBC6 traffic reporter Johanna Torres said. “So now it’s even worse.”
It was not immediately known if anyone was hurt in that crash.
This is a developing story.
