TRANSPORTATION I-5 banana truck fire snarls traffic Comment By Nick Morgan For the Tidings DailyTidings.com By Nick Morgan For the Tidings Posted Jul. 13, 2016 at 4:20 PM Updated Jul 13, 2016 at 7:53 PM By Nick Morgan For the Tidings Posted Jul. 13, 2016 at 4:20 PM Updated Jul 13, 2016 at 7:53 PM » Social News A flaming banana truck stopped traffic at the Oregon-California border and backed up motorists in the northbound lanes of Interstate 5 for a couple of hours Wednesday. Emergency crews had to shut down northbound traffic at the border after a semi-truck carrying bananas caught fire just after 3:30 p.m. Firefighters were called to douse the fully-involved vehicle near milepost 10. The cause was believed to have been brakes that got too hot, said ODOT spokesman Gary Leaming. No injuries were reported, but at one point both northbound lanes were closed, and police were letting people turn around and go back to California. Traffic resumed southbound about 4 p.m., and one lane northbound was opened at 5:40 p.m. By Nick Morgan For the Tidings DailyTidings.com By Nick Morgan For the Tidings Posted Jul. 13, 2016 at 4:20 PM Updated Jul 13, 2016 at 7:53 PM » Comment or view comments Reader Reaction » STAY INFORMED Email NewsLetter Sign Up Today Sign up for our newsletter and have the top headlines from your community delivered right to your inbox.
