A significant fire engulfed a semi-truck on the 5 Freeway in Los Angeles, generating dense columns of black smoke and leading to substantial traffic congestion. The incident occurred on the southbound lanes of the 5, close to Roxford Street in the Sylmar/Granada Hills vicinity, around 12:20 p.m. on Wednesday. Initial reports suggest that the semi-truck collided with another large vehicle, resulting in immediate ignition. The Los Angeles Fire Department stated that one male driver managed to escape from the burning cabin, with passing motorists stepping in to help extinguish flames on his clothes and body. Sky5 reporter Rich Prickett observed that the driver sustained severe burns. Emergency services swiftly transported the driver to a nearby trauma center, noting the critical nature of his burns. Firefighters grappled with the inferno for nearly 40 minutes until it was finally brought under control. Unfortunately, the semi-truck, laden with meat cargo, suffered irreparable damage. Hazardous materials teams spent the afternoon addressing fuel and oil spills on the truck route. The crash and subsequent fire brought southbound traffic to a standstill, stretching from the Newhall Pass and casting visibility across the entire San Fernando Valley.
