I-94 blocked by early morning crash involving three semi trucks on fire
An early morning crash involving three semi trucks shut down traffic on Interstate 94 after the impact led to multiple trucks catching fire. The incident left the interstate blocked as crews worked the scene.
With commercial vehicles involved and fire reported, the response typically requires both traffic control and fire suppression, which can extend closures and complicate cleanup. For drivers running overnight and early morning schedules, a full interstate blockage can quickly turn into missed appointments, hours-of-service pressure, and limited safe parking options when detours back up.
The closure matters beyond the immediate crash site because I-94 is a major freight corridor. When a primary route is blocked, trucks are often pushed onto secondary roads not designed for heavy volumes, leading to slower travel times, bottlenecks at interchanges, and increased risk around merges and local traffic.
At this time, details such as the exact location, injuries, contributing factors, and an estimated reopening time have not been provided in the available information.
