(Fargo, ND) -- A semi-truck caught fire on I-29 south of Fargo Friday afternoon.

The Flag's Scott Henen tells WDAY Radio Now he spotted the fire just before 3:00.

The semi was stopped in the median.

Smoke was billowing into northbound lanes, bringing traffic on that side of the highway to a standstill.
