A car fully engulfed on northbound Hwy. 169 just past Hwy. 101 has traffic at a standstill. The lineup begins back at County Road 83. Drivers trying to get from Hwy. 13 to northbound 169 also are waiting in line.

Our other hotspot is on southbound 35E at Hwy. 36 where we have a fender bender blocking the right shoulder. Things are heavy from Little Canada Road past the scene.
