Part of I-70 was closed for several hours on Wednesday due to a garbage truck that caught fire.  Washington County 911 said emergency crews responded to the Wheeling and Pittsburgh split of the interstate just before two o’clock, where they found a garbage truck nearly engulfed in flames on the shoulder of the interstate.  Pennsylvania State Police said it appeared the truck was having some issues and pulled over before catching fire.  No one was hurt in the blaze, dispatchers said.  (Photo:  WPXI)
