KYRA PHILLIPS, CNN ANCHOR: I'm being told we have some breaking news to bring to you. These pictures from -- do we have pictures? OK, they are coming. And as -- as we get them, I'm being told that two pickup trucks -- tell me again what the pickup trucks collided with, Kim? Two pickup trucks collided with what? Could you tell me, please.

A striping truck. OK, and this was on the 101 Freeway that goes through Los Angeles and up toward Ventura County. This is courtesy of KTTV, a Fox affiliate. An explosion occurred and it did back up traffic both ways. There were no injuries caused, but the explosion was caused from propane tanks. No injuries to report.

Once again, this was on the 101 Freeway, and it did clog up traffic for a while. They are cleaning it up, so you should be able to get around at this point. It happened at 10:00 a.m. this morning.

NATALIE ALLEN, CNN ANCHOR: Hard to believe looking at these pictures no one hurt. That's the good news.
