According to all the San Diego morning news (?) shows this has been a huge flap. As per the channel 10 news camera team that was actually on the scene, the Chula Vista fire truck was first on the scene and was blocking traffic for the car and ambulance which was loading the injured people. The CHP arrived a few minutes later but never actually was handed off command of the scene as the firemen were working with the paramedics and sort of busy. A San Diego fire truck arrived and offered help and the same CHP officer who did the handcuffing told them to go ahead and leave so they did. The news people watched the CHP officer talk to the engineer (driver) and the engineer went to the cab which was to call the commander. When he told the CHP officer what the watch commander said, to not move the truck yet the officer said he'd get arrested. The engineer actually told the 10 news camera man what was about to happen and the went and got cuffed and put in the car. Of course the truck never moved until he was let out?!

Both San Diego and Chula Vista fire depts said they do not plan to change anything in their procedures and everyone is waiting to hear what the CHP said they plan to do. More at 6:00 news!
