A semi-truck fire and an unrelated rollover snarled traffic in both directions at 232nd Street Monday afternoon.

The blaze broke out in the eastbound lanes near 232nd Street Monday afternoon, leaving little of the truck on the road beyond its charred wheels.

A container truck hauling chicken feed in the other direction toppled into a ditch not far away, spilling its cargo all over the highway.

The incidents limited traffic in both directions for hours, but all lanes were reopened around 6 p.m.

No one was injured in the fire and the container truck driver suffered only minor injuries in the crash.
