I just looked it up on my Sigalert page, and nothing showed...anywhere on the 5...Maybe it happened earlier, and is now cleared. Sorry I can't be of more help!

10. In Gorman - past Magic Mountain, before Frazier Park & Grapevine

GORMAN, Calif. -- Two big-rigs collided early today and burst into flames, sparking a brush fire and forcing the closure of Interstate 5, authorities said.

The fire began shortly after 4 a.m., on northbound Interstate 5, north of Highway 138. Both trucks caught fire after slamming into each other and one of them had a load of organic peroxide that is highly combustible, said Capt. Mark Savage of the Los Angeles County Fire Department. One person had minor injuries, he said.

The fire spread through low-lying brush and burned about 20 acres, authorities said.Some motorists who were near the smoke from the trucks complained of feeling ill, said California Highway Patrol Office Kelly Carreno.
