Expect slow traffic southbound SR-99 south of 12th Avenue due to debris blocking all lanes except the fast lane. Please consider using southbound I-5 as an alternate route. Unknown ETO. pic.twitter.com/8JF68W3B5y
Exactly what led up to the crash is unclear, but the big rig ended up spilling produce all over the freeway.
All lanes except for the fast lane are blocked for the moment, California Highway Patrol says.
Expect traffic for the time being. Drivers should consider using alternate routes for their commute home, as it is unclear when the road will be clear.
