A fuel tanker truck caught fire on I-75 near exit 113 in Lexington, causing hours-long traffic disruptions. The empty truck's brakes caught fire, and although the truck cab was engulfed in flames, no injuries were reported. One northbound lane reopened, but the ramp from Paris Pike to I-75 north remained closed for cleanup, causing traffic backups to mile-marker 108 and heavy congestion on New Circle Road.
