An electric SUV burst into flames on Wednesday afternoon in San Jose, California, causing significant traffic delays. The incident occurred along Highway 101 when a transportation truck carrying two vehicles suddenly experienced a fire. While the specific make of the SUV has not been officially confirmed, authorities suspect it was a Rivian.
Two lanes of the busy highway were temporarily blocked as emergency crews worked to extinguish the fire and clear the scene. Fortunately, no injuries were reported as a result of the blaze.
Traffic was heavily impacted during the cleanup process, but the lanes were reopened later that afternoon. Further investigation into the cause of the fire is underway.
