A Tesla big rig crashed in Northern California, igniting its battery and releasing toxic fumes, leading to the closure of Interstate 80 in both directions.
The driver of the electric semitruck escaped the crash and was transported to the hospital, while the truck's battery burned at around 1,000 degrees.
Firefighters are currently waiting for the Tesla's battery fire to burn out, creating a hazardous situation due to the toxic fumes affecting the area.
Traffic is being diverted on Interstate 80 due to the incident, with semitrucks held at the Nevada state line and passenger vehicles rerouted.
