U.S. 93 reopens after truck fire

An accident on the U.S. Highway 93 caused a road closure in Boulder City Tuesday afternoon.

A truck pulling a boat on a trailer caught fire, which caused the truck to separate from the trailer.

According to the Regional Transportation Commission, the freeway was closed in both directions around 2:30 p.m. near the entrance to the Lake Mead National Recreation Area. The road reopened about an hour later.

Nevada Highway Patrol said the accident involved a small boat.
