IRVING, Texas — First responders have put out a truck in flames beneath a bridge on State Highway 114 in Irving, at MacArthur Boulevard.

TxDOT camera footage showed the truck in flames, letting off black smoke beneath a bridge. 

The Irving Fire Department said in a Facebook post that they received a call about the fire at about 1:42 p.m. at Westbound SH 114 and underneath Highway 161. 

Crews arrived at about 1:48 p.m., officials said, and reported the entire vehicle as being on fire. 

Officials said they quickly determined more equipment was needed and mutual aid was dispatched along with more Irving fire engines. A total of seven units were at the scene. 

Heavy black smoke and wind caused multiple lane closures out of concern for driver safety, officials said. 

The fire was under control at about 2:18 p.m., officials said. No injuries were reported.

A TxDOT spokesperson said Thursday morning that the eastbound TEXpress lane remains closed until further notice because the heat caused some pavement damage and it needs to be repaired before traffic can be restored there.
