Officers say the driver was taken to the hospital but is expected to be OK.
Lanes on southbound I-5 were blocked through the early morning hours and Caltrans didn't have an estimated time of reopening. Drivers were being turned around at County Road 102.
Traffic is now being let through, but drivers should expect residual delays through the morning commute.
