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.
