Cuesta Grade Fire Disrupts Commute

A car fire erupted Tuesday afternoon on the northbound Cuesta Grade near the summit, quickly spreading to nearby brush and triggering major traffic chaos. With one lane shut down by 1:40 PM and congestion mounting, the California Highway Patrol issued a SIG Alert after 2 PM to warn drivers to avoid the area. This fast-moving incident serves as a stark reminder of how quickly road fires can disrupt commutes—stay alert and check traffic updates before heading out.
