SAN DIEGO – An Amazon Prime delivery truck fire caused a major traffic jam on northbound Interstate 15 through Scripps Ranch Tuesday afternoon.
Several lanes were blocked on northbound I-15 near Miramar Way in Scripps Ranch due to a truck fire on the right-hand side of the freeway around 1:15 p.m., according to the California Highway Patrol. Two of the seven lanes remained closed as of 3:30 p.m. and were expected to back up traffic during the evening commute.

No injuries have been reported.
The cause of the fire was under investigation.
