Lanes on Highway 58 have been closed due to a semi catching fire Sunday evening.

According to CHP, a semi's trailer caught on fire on the 58, near the Mount Vernon Avenue on-ramp around 7:40 p.m. on Sunday.

CHP says the semi was carrying grapes in the trailer that caught fire.

Firefighters are working to put out the flames, and officials say they are trying to open up a lane to allow traffic to pass by.

No one was injured, according to CHP.

Westbound lanes of the 58, just west of the Mount Vernon Avenue on-ramp are still closed at this time.
