NORTHAMPTON - A car fully engulfed in flames on Interstate 91 in Northampton late Tuesday night has slowed down northbound traffic, according to state police.
Northampton firefighters are on the scene extinguishing the fire, but northbound travel has been reduced to just one lane, police said.
All northbound lanes were closed for a time while state police and firefighters tried to control the scene. As of 10:45 p.m., just the left lane was open to traffic.
The fire was reported at mile marker 24, which is just north of Exit 18, which connects to Route 5 in Northampton.
Police said the car was not involved in an accident but had pulled over to the side of the road and somehow caught on fire.
