FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- CHP officers arrested at least one suspected drunk driver after a fiery, chain-reaction crash that shut down Highway 168 for a couple of hours on Sunday morning.

The woman arrested had crashed and flipped her SUV near the Fowler Avenue exit a little after 2:30 a.m.

Officers say two other SUVs pulled off to the side of the road and the drivers got out to help, but a pickup truck drove through, hitting all three of them.

One of the SUVs got crushed and caught fire, but firefighters put it out and investigators say nobody suffered major injuries in the crash.

CHP reopened the highway just after 4 a.m.
