A trio of crashes have popped up in the south metro in the past few minutes. The most impressive is a fiery crash involving camper and pickup that caught fire in the HOT lane at Cliff Road on 35W.

There is word of two other crashes in the area. Traffic comes to a grind at Burnsville Pkwy.

Over on 494, look for a traffic tangler on eastbound 494 at France Avenue. That's got things crawling from East Bush Lake Road.

We still have a wreck taking out the left lane on northbound 169 over the Bloomington Ferry Bridge.
