Parkway West Tractor-Trailer Fire (Viewer Submitted)

A massive tractor-trailer fire shut down the inbound Parkway West Thursday morning, causing major backups near the Pittsburgh International Airport.

State police said shortly after 5 a.m., a truck carrying frozen food items took the curve too fast, rolled over and caught fire.

Viewer video sent to Channel 11 shows the moments the truck was engulfed in flames.

Both lanes of the parkway have since reopened, but the on-ramp remains shut down as crews work to clear the debris.

No one was injured in the crash.
