CLEARWATER, Fla. (WFLA) — The westbound lanes on the Courtney Campbell Causeway are reopened after a trailer fire closed lanes Monday afternoon.
Pictures from Clearwater police showed a completely burned trailer that they said caused the closure. It is a total loss.
According to CPD, the 20-foot trailer was used as a work station by a gutter installer. The driver noticed there was a problem while they were driving so they pulled off the road to detach the trailer from the vehicle.
Police said it started after a tire blew out and sparked the fire on the trailer.
Police said no injuries were reported.
Drivers are asked to consider an alternate route.
