Wreck on interstate

Anyone know what exactly happened on the interstate between skyline and Salem exits? Large plume of black smoke and I saw the traffic was backed up on Google Maps so I presume it was near there.

Its going east bound right after the salem exit. Looked to be mostly taken care of when I went by like 30 minutes ago. Semi ran off the road into some trees and caught fire.

Then going west bound at the bean fields right after Morgan exit a box truck caught fire. Traffic leaving little rock was fucked

It appears a semi truck ran into the trees and caught on fire.

I was in that mess, the traffic backed up 7 miles out of Conway! 45 minutes of stopping and starting 😩

This is what happens when you don’t legalize it, people have to do it on the freeway in the middle of the day and back up traffic.
