Camper combusts on SR 347

Part of State Route 347 is closed this morning after a camper erupted into flames.

Northbound SR 347 between Casa Blanca and Cement Plant Roads was closed off just before 10:30 a.m. after a vehicle fire, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation.

Photos shared on social media showed the camper, being hauled by a black pickup truck, engulfed in flames and billowing tons of black smoke.

Traffic cameras depicted thinner, white smoke at 10:45 a.m. Minutes later, an ADOT spokesperson confirmed the fire, and said it is blocking the right lane of northbound traffic.

Injuries are unknown at this time.

This is a breaking story. We will provide updates as more information is gathered.
