Wednesday October 3, 2012 6:00 AM

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A fiery truck crash at a busy central Ohio interchange is snarling morning commuter traffic.

Authorities say the ramp from Interstate 270 north to Interstate 70 east on the west side of Columbus was closed early Wednesday after a semi flipped and caught fire.

It happened just after 5 a.m. TV news video showed the truck engulfed in flames. The driver was taken to a hospital in stable condition.

It wasn't clear how long the ramp would be closed.
