San Bruno, California (KRON4) — A 16-year-old girl who was driving erratically crashed into a pizza parlor in San Bruno this morning, damaging a gas meter and causing the building to catch fire, according to police.




The fire was reported sometime before 10:30 a.m. in the 900 block of El Camino Real, prompting a response by fire and PG&E crews.




Authorities say the girl was driving erratically which lead to a chase that ultimately resulted in fiery crash.




Eddie Grauf, owner of European Car Service, which is located near the fire, identified the affected business as Seniore’s Pizza.




“The whole place burned down,” Grauf said. “There were flames 10, 15 feet high.”




“We sent a crew out right away and they’ve been working with first responders to make the area safe and stop the flow of gas,” PG&E spokeswoman Brittany McKannay said.




San Mateo County fire dispatchers said that the fire was brought under control at around 12:15 p.m. and southbound El Camino Real reopened shortly after 12:45 p.m. The northbound lanes remained closed.

THE ROLLOVER RISKS OF TANKER TRUCKS: A TRUCKER TRAVELING EASTBOUND ON I-76, WAS SPEEDING, LOST CONTROL OF HIS RIG AS HE WAS ATTEMPTING TO GET ONTO THE TOLL ROAD AND CRASHES HIS TRUCK, SPILLING MILK

JACKSON TOWNSHIP, Ohio (WKBN) — The entrance ramp to the Ohio Turnpike on I-76 remained closed late Friday after a crash.

A trucker traveling eastbound lost control of his rig as he was attempting to get onto the toll road. The rig went off the road, into the woods and then overturned. The cab landed on its roof and the jaws had to be used to rescue the 81-year-old driver from Pennsylvania.
He was flown to St. Elizabeth Health Center and it was reported that he was alert.

The rig was hauling unpasturized milk and some of it spilled out.

“They don’t know how much milk was lost but it is unpasturized milk. So it started to run off into a nearby creek underneath the vehicle. It started to run towards Meander Reservoir,” said Sgt. David Zatuarnicky of the Ohio State Highway Partol.

HazMat crews are currently on the scene on Lipkey Road trying to contain the spill.  The Ohio State Highway Patrol said it could take several hours before everything is cleared up.
