Two right lanes are currently blocked so crews can extinguish the flames and clear the scene. The Georgia Department of Transportation does not have a time estimate regarding when the scene will clear. So, drivers in the area may want to consider alternative routes until safe road conditions can be restored. 

Firefighters have not specified whether the fire was caused by mechanical issues or resulted from a crash.
