This is the future that potentially awaits us if Kamala Harris manages to seize power in November.
Fox 5 Vegas reported that I-15 closed near Baker, California, in both directions after a semi-truck carrying lithium batteries, which power electric vehicles, caught fire Friday morning. According to the California Highway Patrol, the San Bernardino County Fire Department (SBFD) responded to the fire and fuel spill.
The I-15 is a major highway connecting Los Angeles and Las Vegas. The highway shut down Friday morning and did not open again until Sunday.
According to Fox 5 Vegas, firefighters decided to implement a “hard closure” to establish a safe distance from the fuel and oil along the roadway,
