Vehicle catches fire as accident snarls traffic

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WTVQ) – A vehicle caught fire following a collision that snarled traffic at a busy Lexington intersection Friday afternoon.

Lexington Police say three vehicles were involved in a collision at West Main Street and Newtown Pike.

Investigators say no people were hurt, but a pet in one of the vehicles was apparently injured.

The accident closed the road for about 15-minutes, which temporarily led to a big traffic back-up.
