Traffic on Highway 15 North slowed to a crawl Wednesday morning when a car caught fire.

Shortly before 8 a.m. a car stalled in the centre lane of the highway, and was soon hit by at least one other vehicle.

The car that stalled caught fire and was destroyed before firefighters could put out the flames. The reason for the fire is not yet known.

The Sureté du Quebec said nobody was hurt in the incident.
