And bad timing, well extra bad timing, because any distraction on L.A.Highways between 6am-9pm, M-F could add an extra hour or more to the commute.
Someone likely threw away a car battery or a similar large battery. They explode in the trash compactors on the truck. Don't put hazardous waste in the trash!
I hope the driver is OK
One side of freeway is opened. Fire dept jumped in fire. According to KTLA the trash truck was gas powered. They were fearful it would explode. It also started a small grass fire. But they started hosing it down. It’s out. CHP is opening the freeway. It’s much too hot for this 💩!! Stay cool. Be safe.
