The wreck happened about 2 p.m. in the eastbound lanes at Exit 228 and the smoke from the fire was crossing into the westbound lanes, forcing officials to shut down both directions. The westbound lanes re-opened about 2:30 p.m. but long delays should be expected along the highway on Saturday afternoon.
