At least three people were killed and at least ten people were injured late Friday in a fiery big rig truck accident on Interstate 5 just north of the Antelope Valley Freeway in Northern Los Angeles County. The Santa Clarita crash closed the main route connecting Los Angeles to San Francisco in both directions. The truck accident occurred in a tunnel designed for semi truck traffic although cars are also allowed to use the truck route.

The truck accident occurred when two semi trucks collided, triggering a chain reaction collision of 15 big rig trucks and at least one passenger car. At least one of the trucks was carrying fuel and caught fire. The entire tunnel was eventually engulfed in flames and the resulting inferno reached 2000 degrees for several hours.
