Corona Crash Leaves Vehicle Ablaze

A car caught on fire after a collision with another vehicle in Corona Sunday, authorities said.

The California Highway Patrol got the call about the collision at 11 a.m. on the southbound Interstate 15 near Magnolia Avenue.

One of the vehicles involved, a black Jeep Cherokee, caught on fire and was fully engulfed in flames when a CHP officer arrived at the scene at 11:08 a.m., the CHP said.

The officer attempted to put out the fire using a fire extinguisher, but the extinguisher ran out.

A fire truck arrived later and put out the fire.

All I-15 lanes were closed for about 40 minutes and reopened at 11:51 a.m., CHP officials said.
