The California Highway Patrol closed most of the 2 Freeway Wednesday night after a big rig crash sent dozens of boxes of raisins flying across lanes. 

It happened close to Mountain Street in Glendale. The truck appeared to have crashed into the center divider, shearing the trailer and releasing the boxes to the shoulder and the northbound side of SR-2. 

Officers closed a total of six lanes on the northbound and southbound sides. CHP said the closure will last about two hours. 

By 1 a.m. the following morning, all lanes of the freeway had been reopened.
