Burning vehicle atop Sunshine Skyway Bridge blocks traffic

A car fire near the top of the Sunshine Skyway Bridge is delaying traffic heading from Manatee to Pinellas County.

The view from FDOT cameras showed fire crews on the scene, dousing the flames. Earlier, black smoke was pouring from the blaze, which was near the top of the hump on the northbound side.

All northbound lanes were blocked, but one lane appeared to be getting through at 6 p.m.

Southbound traffic was stopped earlier, but is flowing again.

There was no immediate word of any injuries.
