WOODBRIDGE, Va. — A car fire is snarling morning traffic in Woodbridge, Virginia Wednesday. Prince William County police responded to the reported fire in the northbound lanes of Interstate 95 past Exit 158 around 6:30 a.m.

Just before 7 a.m., police said traffic was getting by the scene using the right shoulder, but the slowdown stretched back two miles, with delays beginning near Dale Boulevard. By 7:45 a.m., traffic officials said all lanes were back open, but delays remained.
Express Lanes remain open to detour around the fire.
Police have not said whether anyone was hurt in the fire, and have not said how the fire may have started.
