Truck fire ties up traffic on Thruway

By Howard B. Owens

A truck fire just before 7:30 a.m. tied up traffic on the Thruway going through Pembroke.

Traffic was reduced to one lane during the incident and it took more than an hour to get traffic flow back to normal.

I passed this around 7:15 on my way to work this morning and the fire was already put out.

Traffic was slow, but not too backed up. Looked like the fire was completely contained in the trailer. It was a Byrne Dairy truck.
