Bay Bridge Lanes Blocked By Truck Fire
Multiple lanes were blocked Friday morning when a produce truck caught fire.
SAN FRANCISCO, CA — Westbound lanes of the Bay Bridge toward San Francisco remained closed Friday morning because of a produce truck that caught fire, according to the California Highway Patrol and the city's Fire Department.
The fire was reported shortly after 9 a.m. on the right-hand shoulder of westbound Interstate Highway 80 on the bridge just east of Treasure Island and initially shut down all but the far left lane, CHP officials said.
The flames were quickly put out by San Francisco firefighters, who are remaining on scene to make sure the smoldering load on the truck does not spark back up, fire officials said.
