No injuries were reported Wednesday morning after a tractor-trailer caught fire Wednesday morning.

According to a spokesperson with the city of Edinburg, the brakes of the tractor-trailer caused the wheels of the vehicle to catch on fire on the I-69C near Schunior Street.

The vehicle was hauling poultry at the time of the incident, a news release said.

The city said cleanup of the scene and removal of the vehicle was expected to take several hours. As a result, the southbound on-ramp south of University Drive, located at the 200 block of S. 24th Ave., was closed through 1 p.m. Wednesday.
