MOSES LAKE — A vehicle fire slowed, but didn’t stop, the line of parents dropping off students at Columbia Middle School on Monday morning. Nobody was hurt in the incident, according to city of Moses Lake Communications and Marketing Specialist Lynne Lynch. 

At about 8:20 a.m., a car on Nelson Road across from the school caught fire, Lynch wrote in an email to the Columbia Basin Herald. The cause is believed to have been an electrical problem in the rear of the vehicle. 

No further information was available Monday afternoon.
