Title: Arson Investigation Closes Busy Interstate 10, VP Harris Expects Reopening on Monday
Los Angeles, CA – A devastating fire on Interstate 10, determined to be arson, has caused the closure of one of the country’s busiest highways. Vice President Kamala Harris announced on Sunday that authorities are working tirelessly to reopen the highway by Monday.
Authorities have identified a person of interest in connection with the fire and are actively seeking them. Cal Fire has released images of the suspect, describing them as a man of unknown race, standing approximately 6 feet tall and weighing between 170 to 190 pounds. The individual was captured on surveillance footage wearing specific clothing items, but their whereabouts remain unknown.
The blaze, which burned for three hours, damaged wooden pallets, trailers, and vehicles stored beneath the interstate. It spread over the equivalent of six football fields, requiring the response of over 160 firefighters to extinguish the flames. The fire has also forced the evacuation of approximately 16 people living underneath the highway, who have been relocated to shelters.
Since the incident, the stretch of I-10 freeway between Alameda Street and the East Los Angeles interchange has remained closed. A crew of 250 dedicated individuals has been working tirelessly around the clock to repair the damaged pillars, as well as replace wood posts and steel beams. However, further work is still required before the highway can be safely reopened to the public.
Despite the challenging circumstances, Vice President Harris expressed her optimism, stating that the highway is expected to reopen by Monday. This news brings a glimmer of hope to commuters and residents who have been inconvenienced by the closure.
As the investigation continues, authorities urge anyone with information about the person of interest to come forward. Cooperation from the community is crucial in bringing the culprit to justice and getting the affected portion of the I-10 freeway fully functional again.
