Vehicle fire briefly shuts down I-75 overnight in Rockcastle County

Crews from two fire departments responded to a fire early Sunday on Interstate 75 in Rockcastle County.

It happened at mile marker 56 near the Mt. Vernon exit.

From pictures posted on the Mt. Vernon Fire Department's Facebook page, it looks like a tractor trailer was involved.

Kentucky State Police tell us the southbound lanes of the interstate were shut down briefly, but are now back open.

We're told there were no injuries in the fire. No word on how it started.
