Last night, drivers on I-10 West faced unexpected delays as emergency crews tackled a vehicle fire at Mile Marker 45, near Clint. El Paso County Sheriff Oscar Ugarte took to social media to advise motorists of the ongoing situation and its impact on travel.
While the fire caused inconvenience and an immediate call to nimbleness for those on the road, the disruption was temporary. In an update that surely came as a relief to those looking to pass through the affected stretch, the El Paso County Sheriff's Office announced the reopening of the roadway. "UPDATE as of 12:15 a.m. - I-10 West MM45 has reopened," the social media update confirmed.
The incident, which occurred yesterday, resulted in no reported injuries. Traffic was redirected as teams worked to secure the area and clear the remnants of the blaze.
