The mechanical issue caused the truck's brakes to ignite, leading to a fire that spread to the tires and engulfed the vehicle.
A spokesperson for the California Highway Patrol described the chaotic scene, noting the truck was carrying around 30,000 to 40,000 pounds of chocolate.
By 1:30 p.m., two lanes on the busy highway remained closed as cleanup crews dealt with the aftermath of melted chocolate on the road.
