Both the cab and trailer of a Target tractor-trailer were reported to be on fire at 4:34 a.m. Monday, according to a California Highway Patrol log. Callers reported that no one was inside the vehicle, and the fire had spread to a hillside just north of Vargas Road. No active fires were reported in the area as of 9:44 a.m.
CHP arrived on the scene at 4:54 a.m., and noted that the fire was blocking the slow lane. They also reported that all of the truck’s rear tires had burned off. A photo from Instagram posted by CHP shows the front of the trailer completely gutted, with burned items from the truck spilling out onto the road.
