A fiery accident involving two tractor trailers shut down a portion of Interstate 20 in Douglas County for several hours Thursday afternoon.

Troopers with the Georgia State Patrol say a tractor trailer caught fire after running into the back of another just shutting down all eastbound traffic just past Lee Road just shortly after noon Thursday.

Westbound traffic was also delayed due to onlooker delays.

One lane of traffic was opened around 3:30 p.m. as wreckers worked to haul away the pair of semis.

Delays are expected through the evening rush hour.
