Tractor Trailer Engulfs in Flames near Entrance to Baltimore’s Ft. McHenry Tunnel (VIDEO)

Baltimore’s Ft. McHenry Tunnel has been closed in part after a tractor-trailer was set ablaze in a crash and fuel leak early Thursday morning.

This comes after The Key Bridge, a major commuter route that carries the Baltimore Beltway I-695 over the Patapsco River at the southern end of the Baltimore Harbor, collapsed in March, diverting its traffic to the Ft. McHenry tunnel.

The Gateway Pundit reported on the bridge’s collapse after the Singaporean Dali container ship took out a support column earlier this year.

In the video below, first responders can be seen subduing the large fire on the highway:

The Maryland Transportation Authority alerted travelers that the Southbound and part of the Northbound tubes are closed.

The cause of the fire is reportedly under investigation.

Jordan has played a critical role in exposing fraud and corruption in Arizona's elections and elected officials. His reporting on election crimes in Maricopa County led to the resignation of one election official, and he was later banned from the Maricopa County press room for his courage in pursuit of the truth. TGP and Jordan finally gained access after suing Maricopa County, America's fourth largest county, and winning at the Ninth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals. Conradson looks forward to bringing his aggressive style of journalism to the Swamp.
