An image from an Ohio Department of Transportation traffic camera on the turnpike shows the moment a giant fireball erupted from one of the vehicles. Viewer video obtained by News 5 shows fire crews working to put out flames that had engulfed each vehicle.Both eastbound and westbound lanes of the turnpike were shut down, as was the I-90 interchange overpass. Westbound lanes reopened that evening, and the eastbound lanes remained closed overnight.
