The Van Wyck Expressway's southbound lanes were closed when a U.S. mail truck rolled over and caught fire around 4:30 a.m. The driver managed to escape the truck, which had been traveling south (right before Jewel Avenue), and reportedly only suffered minor injuries. The southbound lanes reopened before 7 a.m. but traffic is heavy in both directions. And, no, there wasn't any mail in the truck.
