KING CITY, CALIFORNIA
Highway 101 southbound was closed for four hours at Canal
Street in King City because of a big rig truck crash.
The unloaded truck overturned at 9:45 a.m. and burst into
flames.
Investigators said the driver was distracted, crashed into a
guard rail, lost an axle, and flipped the truck.
A 27-year-old man who was driving escaped from the truck
moments before it was engulfed by fire.
He only suffered a few scratches because passersby stopped
and helped him jump out, California Highway Patrol officers said.
Highway 101 was fully reopened at 2 p.m.
