Fiery Night In Walnut Creek Friday

People approach a truck burning on I680 in Walnut Creek Friday.

On what’s shaping up to be a rather nutty Friday night one of our folks came across a Chevy burning on northbound I680 north of Ygnacio Valley in Walnut Creek.

The occupant(s) got out safely but the vehicle was fully engulfed in minutes, firefighters pulling up to douse the flames. Oddly, or perhaps not, it wasn’t the only vehicle fire in the city Friday.
