The transition road on a major freeway interchange reopened after being closed for days because of a truck explosion over the weekend.
Structural engineers have approval to reopen the 710-91 freeway transition after completing a variety of checks, according to Caltrans.
The truck was leaving the eastbound 91 to merge onto the northbound 710 [see map] at about 5:45 p.m. when it hit a guardrail, rolled onto its side and ignited in flames, the California Highway Patrol said in a statement.
The 51-year-old male driver of the vehicle was pronounced dead at the scene. His name has not been released.
