Fiery truck crash closes I-80 for four hours

Both lanes were shut down at about 4 a.m. when four tractor-trailers were involved in a fiery crash about 24 miles east of Reno near the Orchard exit.

One truck reportedly crashed into another that was being hooked up to a tow truck. One man suffered a broken leg but there were no other reported injuries. One lane was reopened about 9 a.m. Some road repair may be necessary before both lanes are ready for business, the patrol said.
