Fiery rollover crash closes Tucson freeway for hours

A fatal tractor trailer crash Wednesday closed a portion of Interstate 10 in Tucson for hours.

About 2 p.m. a car hauler traveling east on Interstate 10 went into the median near Craycroft Road, overturned and caught fire, the Arizona Department of Public Safety said.

Two of the vehicles that burned extensively were electric, and smoke from the wreck could be seen across the city.

A lane opened late in the afternoon, but the wreck impeded traffic for hours.
