Scanner traffic and the California Highway Patrol Traffic Incident Information Page indicate that around 11:34 a.m. a gray truck drove off the side of State Route 128 just east of Yorkville and subsequently lit on fire.

The vehicle came to rest in a creekbed off the eastbound side of the roadway. All of the vehicle’s passengers are reportedly out of the vehicle and firefighters on the scene report there has been minimal spread to the vegetation.

A ground ambulance is on its way to the site of the accident as the Incident Commander assesses the passengers.


UPDATE 12:03 p.m.: The vehicle fire and the vegetation fire have officially been extinguished.
