A USPS semitrailer caught fire in north Florida early Friday.

Mail might be delayed for north Florida customers -- or not come at all -- since a semitrailer carrying mail from the U.S. Postal Service caught fire in Alachua County.

The crash happened at about 3:30 a.m. Friday along I-75, the Florida Highway Patrol said.

Two tractor-trailers collided and the semitrailer carrying the mail caught fire, troopers said.

The people inside the semitrailers suffered minor injuries, investigators said.
