Parts of Westbound 210 Freeway shutdown over nine hours due to big rig fire
A big rig fire on the westbound 210 Freeway caused a multi-lane closure Saturday.
It was unclear what caused the fire, which was reported just after 5:15 p.m. and had begun to spread from the vehicle towards homes in the nearby area.
California Highway Patrol officials closed all westbound lanes of the freeway as a result, as firefighters on scene attempted to control the blaze.
Authorities changed the location of the Sigalert a little after 6:50 p.m., continuing closure in the area between the Wheatland Street off-ramp to the Osborne Street on-ramp in Lake View Terrace.
One lane was opened at around 8:20 p.m., with all lanes reopening just after 2:30 a.m. Sunday morning.
It was not clear how long the lanes would be closed and CHP officers continued to divert traffic from the area as of 7:30 p.m.
