WOBURN, MASS. (WHDH) - A car fire on I-93 northbound in Woburn reduced traffic just as the evening commute was getting underway, according to officials.
Massachusetts State Police said the right and center lanes near Exit 30 were closed to traffic around 3 p.m. on Friday as both state troopers and the Woburn Fire Department responded to the incident.
An image shared on the MSP Twitter account showed what appeared to be the front of an SUV engulfed in flames near an on-ramp for the Northern Expressway.
In an update nearly 45 minutes later, the MassDOT said the highway’s center lanes had reopened to traffic while the right lane remained closed.
A short time after that, authorities said I-93 had fully reopened.
No information on the condition of the SUV’s driver has been released.
