A vehicle fire on I-35 has stalled traffic for hours in Lytle, according to the mayor and drivers commenting on his Facebook post who were stuck in traffic.
Ruben Gonzalez, Lytle mayor, said I-35’s northbound lanes had been shut down. Many Facebook residents commented they had been stuck in traffic for hours.
One person said they had been stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic since 2:25 a.m.
The mayor advised drivers to seek alternate routes, like exiting off 131 and using the Highway 132 on-ramp if going north on I-35.
KSAT is working to find out more information and when the road will reopen to drivers.
Team Lytle and surrounding communities, we have northbound I-35 shut down due to a vehicle fire. Please use alternate routes (use exit 131, then use Highway 132 on-ramp) if traveling northbound.
