SPOKANE, Wash. - A semi-truck carrying hundreds of gallons of diesel caught fire on I-90 in the heart of downtown Spokane Saturday morning. 

Washington State Patrol Troopers say it happened just after 6:00am in the eastbound lanes of I-90 in between the Maple and Division Street exits. 

Firefighters were quickly on scene and extinguished the flames in the cab of the truck before they were able to spread to the tank carrying 240 gallons of diesel. 

No injuries were reported and the cause is unknown. 

Motorists can expect delays in the area as the right lane will be blocked for a while as crews clear the truck off the interstate.

While most of the action is on the court, a lot of what makes State B so much fun is all the fans who come to cheer on their kids, grand kids, students, brothers, sisters... whatever!

    PORTLAND, Ore. - Zawadi Mungu, proud father of the pride, is now spending time with his cubs. He's a 500-pound mega-carnivore capable of pulling a buffalo to the ground, but Zawadi Mungu now plays a new role: cat toy. Last week, the male lion ventured outside with his trio of energetic cubs for the first time, and demonstrated a remarkable tolerance for a flurry of pint-sized attacks on his mane, tail and patience.
