The car fire on the right shoulder of southbound I-35 near the Forest Lake Split is out and the vehicle has been towed away. All lanes are open again, and that's a good thing as the backup extends 3 miles to the north. Commuters will feel the effects at County Road 2.

A new crash to look out for is on the overpass of 35th Street over I-35W in south Minneapolis. It looks as if a car rear-ended a school bus.

And adding a stall to the mix, look for a broken down vehicle on eastbound 94 in what's known as the Brooklyn Center curve.
