PLACER COUNTY, Calif. — Lanes reopened after a semi-truck carrying chocolate caught fire on westbound Interstate 80 and Highway 174 in Placer County on Monday.
The semi-truck was carrying about 40,000 pounds of chocolate, according to Cal Fire.
Fire crews responded to the scene just north of Colfax around 4 a.m. According to Chris Baldoni, a captain with Cal Fire, the truck had overheated its breaks and detached the truck from the trailer which caused it to catch fire.
I-80 was closed for a couple of hours in the early morning. No one was injured in the fire.
