A pickup truck caught fire on the Golden State (5) Freeway in Castaic Saturday and was put out by firefighters before it could spread into the nearby forest, authorities said.

The fire was reported at 2:24 p.m. Saturday on the northbound freeway just south of Templin Highway, according to the California Highway Patrol. It involved a Dodge Ram 1500 pickup truck.

The Angeles National Forest reported its firefighters and Los Angeles County counterparts put out the fire before it could spread into brush alongside the freeway.

“Northbound motorists can expect a temporary delay due to Number 3 and 4 lane closure,” forest officials said.
