Northbound traffic is moving again on the Sunshine Skyway after a car fire caused vehicles to be backed up for miles this morning, St. Peterburg fire officials said.
The car caught fire about 7:20 a.m. just south of the hump, said Lt. Joel Granata of St. Petersburg Fire and Rescue. Heavy smoke and fire shut down all northbound traffic.
Northbound lanes were reopened about an hour later, Granata said.
The blaze was extinguished and the driver was not injured.
The vehicle was described as green compact car.
