A mobile home caught fire Thursday afternoon in the southbound lanes of Interstate 75.

The mobile home on a trailer hauled by a semi caught fire shortly after 3 p.m. at the Ohio 123 exit in Franklin.

Smoke billowed high into the sky and traffic more than two hours later remained backed up to Interstate 675.

The highway was not shut down and no injuries were reported.
