Truck Seen Driving With Smoking Paint Cans On State Route 118

CHATSWORTH, CA — A work truck with paint cans smoking in the back was spotted around 9:20 a.m. on the Ronald Reagan Freeway (state Route 118) driving on the Eastbound side.

The driver was unaware of the fire on his truck, and was last seen still driving near the Topanga Canyon Boulevard exit Wednesday morning. California Highway Patrol was trying to locate the car to pull it over, but couldn't find the car past Topanga Canyon Boulevard. A major concern was whether the paint is flammable, as some oil-based paints can be flammable.
