LAWTEY, Fla. (WCJB) - All northbound lanes of U.S. 301 were shut down as Bradford County Fire Rescue crews responded to a semi-truck fire. Officials say one southbound lane is also blocked.

A semi-truck containing Budweiser products caught fire Thursday evening on Northwest 251st Street, north of Lawtey.

Bradford County Sheriff’s Office deputies say due to a fuel spill, the fire extended out away from the semi. The burning cardboard boxes also make it difficult to put out the blaze.
