Chaos' As Vehicles Burn on Live Television After Wildfire Sweeps Across Southern California Freeway

HESPERIA, Calif. (AP) — A wildfire has swept across a Southern California freeway and burned several vehicles.

It was not immediately clear if anyone was hurt in the blaze that broke out Friday afternoon along Interstate 15, the main route between Southern California and Las Vegas.

U.S. Forest Service spokesman Uriah Hernandez says the fire in the Cajon Pass has burned at least 50 acres and is moving fast.

The fire led authorities to shut several freeway lanes, causing traffic to back up for miles.
