The westbound 210 Freeway was closed at Lowell Avenue for nearly six hours.
One semi-truck rear ended the other, said CHP Officer Zachary Hamel.

One big rig landed on its side and fuel began leaking on the road, which set off a fire.
The trailer of one of the trucks was carrying wooden pallates, adding fuel to the fire.
