A vehicle fire scene has been cleared on the QEII, with traffic resuming. Earlier this evening, traffic slowed to a crawl due to a vehicle fire in the northbound lanes of the QEII Highway. The incident was just south of Yankee Valley Boulevard.
Airdrie fire crews attended the scene and the vehicle was extinguished. While earlier reports indicated a highway closure, fire department officials confirmed that they had previously opened two northbound lanes.
Traffic was backed up for some time, though shortly before 8 Tuesday evening, traffic flow resumed.
