According to CHP, the unappealing odor that some Dublin locals could have detected early on Friday morning was caused by a tractor-trailer loaded with chocolate that had burned beside westbound I-580.
At approximately 6:45 a.m. Friday, CHP first reported that a tractor-trailer fire was obstructing the right lanes of traffic on westbound I-580 west of Grant Line Rd. in Alameda County.
