A minivan carrying two people caught fire on northbound I-5, closing a ramp near Harbor Boulevard in Anaheim, according to a news report.
The California Highway Patrol reported that a minivan owned by the Men’s Christian Recovery Home was traveling north on I-5 when the driver was alerted by other motorists that his van was on fire. The minivan driver pulled over near a ramp exit and he and another passenger jumped out to escape flames that quickly engulfed the vehicle.
Anaheim firefighters were called to the scene and extinguished the blazing minivan, whose occupants had climbed a nearby fence in fear the vehicle would explode.
