A tractor-trailer caught fire on the Pennsylvania Turnpike on Sunday.

The incident happened between the Irwin and Pittsburgh exits in an emergency pull-off area.

State police said the brakes on the tractor-trailer caught fire.

Traffic was backed up for almost an hour as crews put out the fire. The road has since been reopened.
