US, Los Angeles: La Canada Flintridge Car Fire.

Los Angeles, United States - August 21, 2026 08/21/2026 03:05 am GMT-0700 La Canada Flintridge – A semi truck on the westbound side of Interstate 210 near Angeles Crest Highway caught fire early this morning. California Highway Patrol officers received reports of the incident shortly after 3 a.m. The fire quickly engulfed the front end of the tractor, which was towing two trailers loaded with hay. By 3:05 a.m., units were assigned to the scene, and the Los Angeles County Fire Department was notified. Hazardous conditions prompted the issuance of a SigAlert due to multiple lanes being closed. As firefighters worked to extinguish the flames, it was confirmed that they needed additional resources for the fully engulfed truck. Northbound Angeles Crest Highway was also closed as a precaution. At least one lane remained open for traffic diversion, but the incident caused significant delays. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
