Downtown Portage saw some disruption late this afternoon as a semi-truck appeared to be in flames on the corner of 12th St. S.W. and Saskatchewan Ave.
It's believed the semi had over heated resulting in the hood being burned off, leaving only a gaping hole.



As of now the fire is out and emergency crews are still cleaning up the mess.  Motorists are still being diverted and there is no time frame as to when regular traffic will resume.
