El Cajon — Saturday 8/30, 11:30 PM
A car fire broke out late Saturday night after a crash involving a Subaru sedan and a commercial truck at the I-8 offramp and West Main Street in El Cajon.
Police said all parties involved were able to exit the vehicles on their own, and no injuries were reported. The Subaru, however, was fully engulfed in flames and destroyed in the incident.
Firefighters with Heartland Fire & Rescue said leaking fuel made the blaze difficult to contain. Crews used both water and dry chemical extinguishers to knock down the fire.
El Cajon Police responded and are investigating what led to the crash.
