A tractor trailer carrying paper towels caught fire late Tuesday night on Interstate 70 in Washington County. Smoke was seen rising from the rig just after 10:30 p.m. in the westbound lanes in Somerset Township. The highway was shutdown for several hours while crews cleaned up the mess and removed the tractor trailer. It has since reopened to traffic. No one was hurt.
