A Tesla Semi truck crashed into trees and caught fire off the side of a highway in California early Monday morning .

Firefighters doused the Semi with thousands of gallons of water to cool its lithium-ion EV battery pack down to a manageable target temperature of around 100 degrees Fahrenheit.

The driver of the Semi was taken to a hospital after walking away from the crash.

Authorities are investigating the cause of the crash, including whether the driver fell asleep.
