California highway interchange collapses after tanker catches fire

OAKLAND, Calif. A section of highway has collapsed in Oakland, California, after a tractor trailer carrying 86-hundred gallons of gasoline caught fire.It happened early this morning at an interchange connecting interstate highways to the busy Oakland-San Francisco Bay Bridge.

Authorities say the tanker ignited after crashing into a pylon on an interchange connecting Interstate 80 to I-880. The fire led to the collapse of a second interchange above it.

The driver of the truck suffered second-degree burns. The California Highway Patrol says he walked away from the crash and hailed a cab, which took him to the hospital.

The Bay Bridge's heavily traveled double decks run about two miles across the San Francisco Bay.
