A big rig driver died after a fiery crash on Highway 99 in Fresno.
The truck was heading north on 99 Sunday morning when it crashed under the overpass at Chestnut Avenue. The trailer's cargo spilled onto the highway as the truck caught fire.
Witnesses say several people tried to stop and help him.
"For unknown reasons, it drifted off to the shoulder, and collided into the bridge pillar," said an official from the California Highway Patrol.
The collision shut down northbound 99 for several hours.
