BEAVER TWP., Ohio (WKBN) – Route 11 northbound just south of Route 46 was shut down around 7:35 a.m. Saturday following a semi-truck fire.

The brakes on the truck caught fire and spread to the cab and rest of the semi.

The driver was able to get out of the truck and was not injured.

The fire blocked off both lanes of traffic. Beaver Township Fire Department had both lanes closed for around 30 minutes before opening up one lane of traffic.

“If something like this were to happen, just try to get as far off the road safely, and stay away. Don’t try to get up to the fire unless there’s someone that absolutely needs help,” said trooper Timothy Dobbins.

According to the Canfield Ohio State Patrol office, no injuries were reported.
