The scene is at Airtport Boulevard. A big rig overturned and lost its load of bricks, dumping it all over the freeway.
Both lanes of southbound Interstate 5 are blocked.
Caltrans is at the scene helping with the cleanup, but it's unclear when it will be cleared. Traffic is being diverted off the freeway onto Airport Boulevard, but it is very slow going.
