Authorities say the driver, Karan Singh, was headed north on California Avenue when he crashed into three cars stopped for a red light near Riverside Drive. The crash sent vehicles flying into the parking lot of a nearby Terrible Herbst gas station. At that point, the truck and one of those vehicles went up in flames.
