SAN BRUNO, Calif. -- The eastbound Interstate Highway 380 connector ramp to southbound U.S. Highway 101 near San Francisco International Airport has reopened this morning after being closed for several hours because of a big-rig crash, according to the California Highway Patrol.

Firefighters and CHP officers responded at about 1:15 a.m. to a crash involving a big-rig that caught fire, prompting the closure of the connector ramp.

Crews put out the car fire and also responded to a small fuel leak from the vehicle, according to the CHP.

As of shortly after 7:30 a.m., the connector ramp between eastbound Highway 380 and southbound Highway 101 had reopened, but the far right lane of southbound Highway 101 remains closed for continued cleanup efforts, CHP officials said.
