Traffic on southbound Interstate 95 at Broad Street has just started to squeeze through after the highway was closed because of a car fire late Tuesday afternoon, police said.

The fire was reported at 4:37 p.m., a dispatcher said. The cause of the accident is under investigation. The condition of the driver, who was transported to a hospital, was not immediately available.

The northbound lanes of I-95 were halted because heavy smoke was drifting across the highway. They have since been reopened.
