According to officials with the Cloverdale Township Volunteer Fire Department, a car hauler had a mechanical issue, prompting a fire to start that destroyed the tractor and trailer, as well as five cars on the trailer. One vehicle on the trailer was salvageable but had heat damage to it. 

No injuries were reported to the driver.

The fire caused traffic to be shutdown in the westbound lanes of I-70, forcing traffic to be diverted off the interstate.
