Let's hope the occupants of this vehicle that is burning on southbound Hwy. 169 at 63rd Avenue got out okay. The commotion has traffic crawling from 77th Avenue past the scene.

Elsewhere drivers on westbound 694 are getting caught up in a traffic jam. A crash at Rice Street has things backed up to the eastern 35E/694 split in Little Canada.

And the State Patrol is on the way to an injury accident on Hwy. 252 near 70th Avenue in Brooklyn Park.
