The truck was struck by a hit-and-run driver, causing the crash, which resulted in the subsequent fire and upwards of 20 barrels of powdered tungsten metal into the roadway, causing slick conditions for motorists.
Crews were able to quickly extinguish the fire, but not before the tractor-trailer was destroyed, fuel spilled, and the crushed barrels spilled onto the roadway.
All lanes were reported open as of 10:45 a.m. on Sunday morning.
No injuries were reported.
The incident remains under investigation.
