OAKLAND — A semi-truck burned at an intersection after some viewers of a sideshow at an East Oakland intersection stripped paper products inside across an intersection Sunday.

Social media posts, some of which contained raw and possibly offensive language, geo-located at 42nd Avenue and International Boulevard appear to show boxes of toilet paper and other paper products being tossed into the air by several people before, at some point, the truck itself catches fire.

Police were responding to the area to re-direct traffic away from the area and allow firefighters to extinguish flames and protect an evacuated AC Transit bus parked close by the truck.

There were no immediate reports of injuries.
