KEY LARGO, FLA. (WSVN) - A vehicle went up in flames in the Florida Keys, causing an hours-long traffic headache.

The blaze took place along the northbound lanes near Mile Marker 117, on a section of U.S. 1 leading out of Key Largo, Friday afternoon.

The fire caused big delays in both directions as firefighters worked to put out the flames and clear the scene. Northbound traffic was diverted at Mile Marker 106.

The highway has since reopened to traffic.

No one was hurt.

It remains unclear what caused the fire.
