JACKSON, MS (Mississippi News Now) -

A vehicle fire delayed the evening commute for motorists traveling on I-220 Friday.

Skycopter 3 captured video just before 5 p.m.

It shows a vehicle so badly burned, we couldn't tell what it was. It happened in the southbound lanes on I-220, just past the Highway 80 exit.

We don't know if anyone was hurt. Traffic was back flowing smoothly by 5:30.
