Drugs may have been involved

The California Highway Patrol responded Thursday morning to a car fire in Truckee that the driver reportedly started to try to scare away bears. 

According to CHP Officer Carlos Perez, officers responded around 5:30 a.m. to reports of a car fire alongside Interstate 80 near the Farad exit. When officers arrived, they found that a man had lit a fire on the hood of his car in an attempt to “keep bears away,” Perez said.
