(Pittsburgh, PA) A truck burst into flames along a major highway in Pittsburgh yesterday. An Allegheny County 911 dispatcher told WPXI that police and firefighters were sent to I-279 northbound near Exit 4 just after 11 a.m. A WPXI photographer saw a truck fully engulfed in flames and the cause of the fire is unknown at this time.  Traffic remained restricted for about an hour after the blaze was put out. There were no reported injuries.
