No injuries were reported after a semi tractor-trailer hauling a load of cardboard boxes caught fire on Interstate 80 during the mid-afternoon hours, Thursday. Officials closed both westbound lanes of I-80 between Neola and Underwood for a couple of hours while the fully engulfed semi was being extinguished and the mess cleaned-up. There’s been no word on how the blaze started.
