Black smoke and bright flames shot into the sky over Selma Saturday morning after officers say a semi-truck carrying 8,600 gallons of fuel sideswiped a box truck.
The semitractor-trailer and more than a dozen other vehicles caught fire after the crash, police said.
Early Wednesday morning a big rig carrying 30-40,000 pounds of lawn sod overturned in Oakland and a big rig hauling produce overturned and caught fire in San Leandro. Both incidents have caused major backups.
A truck slammed into an overhead sign on northbound I-680 in Pleasanton Wednesday morning, shutting down lanes for hours as crews inspected and removed the sign with a massive crane.
At least one died in a Fremont I-680 multiple-vehicle collision involving a jackknifed big rig carrying 10,000 pounds of beef that ended up off the roadway and down the embankment.
The driver of an 18-wheeler is lucky to be alive after narrowly escaping a massive collision with an oncoming train.
