The fateful collision took place around 11 a.m. on Academy Avenue heading north, near Shields Avenue, according to Officer Mike Salas. The driver of the Ford Ranger truck failed to stop at a stop sign while heading west on Shields and crashed into the trailer being towed by a large truck traveling north on Academy Avenue.
Stopping the trailer took some time as it dragged the truck, which began to catch fire, explained Salas.

According to Officer Salas, it is believed that the driver was traveling alone. Fortunately, the driver of the large truck was unharmed.
