A car fire has shut down all lanes of S. Fillmore Street just south of Route 50.
Firefighters are currently dousing the fire in the engine compartment of the sedan — possibly a Kia — with water.
The road will likely remain at least partially blocked until a wrecker can tow away the scorched vehicle.
In a separate vehicular incident, police and firefighters are currently responding to the area of the intersection of Langston Blvd and N. Harrison Street for a report of an elderly driver who ran into the column of a building.
Update at 6:30 p.m. — The following video from social media shows the vehicle that ran into a storefront at the Lee-Harrison Shopping Center being towed away.
