Wildfire Ignited by Highway Crash | California News
Description
A wild crash on Highway 140 in Mariposa County sent a cement truck flipping into a tour bus — sparking a wildfire called the “Colorado Fire” that’s now scorched 171 acres and zero percent contained. Mandatory evacuations are in place for some areas, with others under warning as flames race uphill toward the Merced River. Firefighters face steep terrain but are deploying air support to battle the blaze, while 45 homes are at risk. An emergency shelter is open in Bootjack, and Highway 140 remains shut between Briceburg and the Bug Hostel. The bus driver escaped unharmed; the cement truck driver’s condition is unknown.
