PHOTOS: A car fire blocked lanes of southbound Interstate 405 in Renton on Tuesday. The Washington State Department of Transportation first reported there was a disabled vehicle at 9:25 a.m. The vehicle was engulfed in flames in the HOV lane near Northeast 44th Street. All traffic stopped after a truck positioned itself across the lanes when firefighters had not yet arrived. Fire trucks pulled up to the scene at 9:36 a.m. At that point, the flames were still burning and a lot of black smoke was rising from the fire. Minutes later, the flames were out and plumes of white smoke rose into the air over the backed-up traffic.
