It took crews from both Uintah County and Wyoming to get the fire under control, the fire department said.
No injuries were reported, and one lane has since reopened.
Crews are working to remove the burned cars, and said because several electric vehicles were burned, they are taking extra caution to make sure they don’t start back on fire.
There is no further information available.
