A pile of cardboard boxes created a mile-long backup along Corridor G during morning rush hour Monday in Charleston.

It happened after 7 a.m. near the intersection of Oakwood Road.

 A truck traveling north on Corridor G was carrying cardboard boxes.

 Somehow, the cardboard caught on fire and the load was dumped on the road.

 One north bound lane of the Corridor had to be shut down as Charleston firefighters worked to put out the fire and clean up the mess.
