Police say the Jeep sustained serious damage and was towed from the scene after local firefighters extinguished the blaze.
The small inferno happened along the highway shoulder, near Sandy Point Road, around 3:45 p.m.
Police say the vehicle was not involved in any collision, nor did they receive any reports of injuries related to the fire. They also believe the fire isn’t of a criminal nature.
