Commercial building catches fire after crash in Cambria

CAMBRIA, Calif. - Firefighters responded to a commercial building fire that broke out in Cambria Saturday afternoon.

The fire was reported around 1:05 p.m. on the 4100 block of Burton Drive near Main Street at a culinary shop known as A Matter of Taste.

A witness at the scene told NewsChannel 12 it appears a truck crashed into the side of the commercial building before becoming engulfed in flames. The flames then appear to have spread to the building.

CHP confirmed that a single vehicle crashed into the building before the fire broke out.

Firefighters said the truck sheared a natural gas line during the crash, sparking the fire and causing it to spread rapidly.

Officers reported Main Street was closed at Tamson Drive.
