INTERSTATE 5 Tally me banana truck: 2nd fire in 4 weeks Comment By Local report MailTribune.com By Local report Posted Aug. 12, 2016 at 12:53 PM By Local report Posted Aug. 12, 2016 at 12:53 PM » Social News Bananas flambe are coming in bunches along Interstate 5 south of Ashland. For the second time in four weeks, a northbound semitrailer carrying a cargo load of bananas started burning on the way down the Siskiyou Grade, likely because of overheated brakes. The earlier truck ended up burning pretty much down to its frame near milepost 10 on July 13. Thursday's truck fire was just a bit north, near Exit 11, prompting a brief closure of the northbound off-ramp that was wrapped up at 6:18 p.m., according to the Oregon Department of Transportation. Photos released by ODOT showed the fire was contained to the right rear quarter of the semitrailer.
