MILAN, Ohio — No one was injured, and traffic was not significantly disrupted, when a tractor-trailer caught fire Saturday afternoon along the eastbound Ohio Turnpike east, of the U.S. 250 interchange.

An Ohio Highway Patrol dispatcher said the truck’s wheels caught fire and it spread to the trailer’s body. The dispatcher had no information about the trailer’s cargo or destination.
