WESTLAKE, Ohio - A fire involving a snowplow on I-90 temporarily closed the westbound lanes of the highway in Westlake Wednesday morning.

The incident happened before noon just past the Columbia Road exit.

Our crew at the scene said the snowplow truck was not from the Ohio Department of Transportation and the driver was able to get out safely.

I-90 westbound was closed for about a half hour, but reopened just before 12:30 p.m.
