Commuters facing the outbound lanes of Parkway West this morning encountered unexpected delays due to a vehicle fire that shut down the lanes near the Carnegie exit. The disruption initially led to the complete closure of both lanes, but authorities managed to reopen one, allowing traffic to resume slowly, as WPXI reported.
The incident at a stretch of road frequented by morning commuters drew a swift response from the emergency services. While the cause of the fire and details about potential injuries were not immediately clear, drivers were advised to seek alternative routes to avoid extended delays on their morning commute.
Further details on the vehicle fire and subsequent traffic impacts were sparse. WTAE cited that they were working to gather more information and promised updates as soon as they became available.
