California Reopens Burnt Freeway and Hunts for Suspect

An elevated Los Angeles freeway that was closed for over a week due to an arson fire has reopened ahead of schedule, weeks earlier than expected. The fire, fueled by flammable materials stored under the roadway in violation of a company's lease, caused significant damage to the Interstate 10 freeway. Governor Gavin Newsom announced that the freeway would be "fully operational" before Monday's rush hour, with periodic closures expected in the coming weeks for ongoing repairs. State investigators have released photos of a "person of interest" in connection with the fire and are seeking public assistance in locating him.
