Initial reports are that two people died in a fiery crash Wednesday afternoon.

The California Highway Patrol says the accident was reported at 3:25 p.m. on southbound Highway 86 just south of Carey Road. A car and a tractor trailer rig collided. A caller speaking to KXO Radio was telling the station about the accident when they saw the car explode in flames. Highway 86 was shut down between Keystone and Austin Roads and traffic diverted as emergency crews worked at the scene. The investigation is continuing.
