Details are still sketchy on the exact details of a tractor trailer crash which closed the northbound lane of Interstate 25 near Lake Absarraca early Saturday morning.

Wyoming Highway Patrol officials could not be reached for comment, but it is known the accident led to a fire which sent a massive cloud of black smoke into the area around 7:30 am. Officers from the Wyoming Highway Patrol as well as Laramie  County Fire District#2 firefighters were among those responding to the fire.

The lane re-opened to traffic around 9 a.m. We'll report further details on the fiery crash as they become available.
