Firefighters clean up debris as car awaits transport away from the scene.

A roving UHub photographer snapped the aftermath of an apparent car-B-Q at the southern end of the Gilmore Bridge this afternoon, reports traffic was back up all the way to North Station.

It must be an electric car! It just has to be - "real" cars NEVER catch fire and burn!

This looks typical for rush hour, the photo is just missing the motorists that block the box right there at Museum Way. Might even be happening in this example.

People almost always end up blocking the box, delaying cars coming from Museum Way going left/right, all of it blocks pedestrians using the crosswalks and makes it really hard for cars to make the left turn onto Museum Way.
