All lanes of the Will Rogers Turnpike between Afton and Vinita have been reopened after a semi-truck caught on fire at 2 a.m.

According to Oklahoma Highway Patrol, one of the truck's tires caught fire and the driver pulled over and tried to put the fire out himself but was unsuccessful. Troopers say the truck was pulling a tank trailer filled with gasoline. The driver was able to disconnect the truck from the trailer and OHP shut down part of the turnpike until the fire was completely out.

Troopers say nobody was injured and no gasoline leaked during the fire.
