California’s Dept. of Transportation is still investigating the cause and extent of damage at the site of an Oct. 12 multi-vehicle pileup on Interstate 5 near Santa Clarita in Southern California. The accident caused a concrete-popping fire in the southbound truck-only bypass tunnel.
The Friday-night fiery freeway pileup involved 30 tractor-trailer trucks. It killed at least three people and completely closed a section of the main traffic lanes near Santa Clarita until Monday morning. The truck tunnel remains closed.
