Traffic is now beginning to move following a vehicle fire on Highway 401 Eastbound near Palace Road in Greater Napanee.
myFM spoke with Lennox and Addington OPP Constable Shannon Cork who says an OPP officer was driving past when they noticed the vehicle. They then looped around and called it in. By the time the officer had returned the vehicle was fully engulfed in flames.
Cork reports the driver was out of the vehicle and it appears to have been a mechanical issue.
The car was on the south shoulder of the Eastbound lane about 1km west of Palace Road. Both lanes were closed as Napanee fire came and put it out.
The fire is now out and traffic is moving again.
