AUSTIN (KXAN) – A fire caused by a crash between a passenger car and an 18-wheeler has been extinguished, according to the Austin Fire Department.

Photos from our crew on scene show a car underneath the belly of a jackknifed semi-truck. The fire from that crash sent thick black smoke into the air until crews could get the fire under control.

AFD says they are currently working with Austin Watershed to clean up fuel that was spilled, as of around 4 p.m.
