I can confirm, but interstate is shut down right here, so 865 and 98 exit both lanes southbound is stalled. I finally got a pull up on the traffic cam. It's going to be just south of the Gandy on the southbound side. And for the northbound side stop, I can see smoke coming up up there, but I'm still far, too far back to tell. It looks like fire department was just getting on the scene and it is fully engulfed. Do we know what it's hauling? Negative. I can confirm that interstate is shut down.
