Which Way, L.A.?
Big-Rig Crash in the Newhall Pass
It’s still unclear what happened to at least nine drivers who apparently escaped from Friday night’s inferno in the Newhall Pass Tunnel. Temperatures reached as high as 1400 degrees after the crash of 31 vehicles, some of which were reduced to molten metal. Truck drivers say the tunnel was an accident waiting to happen. We’ll hear from Caltrans and others tonight.
