Fire Rips Through Tanker Truck's Cab on I-805
On Friday, just after 11:30 p.m., the driver of a tanker truck traveling on northbound Interstate 805 in Kearny Mesa noticed sparks coming from the hood.
The driver pulled over and called 911. Flames ripped through the cab of the tanker truck, but fire crews were able to knock out the fire before it could spread to the gas inside the fuel tank. No one was hurt.
The Balboa Ave. exit off I-805 was closed for a while during the incident and investigation.
