Summary
A semi-truck erupted into flames on the 5 Freeway earlier this week, sending smoke and fire into traffic chaos as drivers crawled along bumper-to-bumper. The driver escaped unharmed, but firefighters had to battle both the truck blaze and a nearby grass fire. Caltrans warned of hours-long delays, and by 7:30 PM, traffic was still grinding in both directions — a stark reminder that even your daily commute can turn into a fiery nightmare overnight.
