Truck carrying bananas catches fire, causes vegetation fire off Highway 101

The off-ramp at Betabel Road off Highway 101 was shut down Thursday morning as crews continued to clean up a sticky situation.

California Highway Patrol said a truck carrying thousands of bananas caught fire late Wednesday night. The flames spread into a vegetation fire, but it was quickly contained.

Crews spent much of the morning cleaning up the spilled, burnt bananas.

The off-ramp is expected to reopen sometime Thursday morning.
