My wife & I were enroute to an event in San Jose when we happened upon this truck fire on Hwy 152– when I stopped, the fire had just started, and the driver was still in the cab. I grabbed my camera and headed towards him, but when I turned it on, the “Tape Not Inserted” flashed, so I had to run back to my car, find my backpack, and insert a tape– took maybe 45 seconds– by which time the cab was really starting to burn… The driver got out OK, and the firefighters got it under control shortly after this video ended (due to YouTube’s time limits)…
