Sig-Alert Canceled After I-680 Truck Fire
A semi carrying Alhambra Water was fully engulfed in flames.
FREMONT, CA — A sig-alert on I-680 has been canceled, but not before a fully involved truck fire turned the Friday afternoon commute into a miserable endurance drive. It's happened just south of Vargas Road.
The truck was on the right hand shoulder when it caught fire, causing a small vegetation fire next to it.
Two lanes were blocked because of the fire and emergency efforts. The HOV lane was opened to everyone to get traffic moving.
