Semi hauling pork butts catches fire, temporarily closes I-435 in Kansas City, North
Traffic has resumed along southbound Interstate 435 at Interstate 35 in Kansas City, North, following a blockage caused when a tractor-trailer hauling pork butts caught fire early Wednesday.
The semi, which was hauling 41,500 pounds of pork, became engulfed in flames about 4:15 a.m. near the I-435 and I-35 interchange, according to the Missouri Department of Transportation.
The crash closed southbound I-435 for several hours while crews cleared the debris. Traffic was diverted to southbound I-35.
Southbound I-435 reopened shortly before 7 a.m.
