A big-rig overturned and spilled milk and fuel on the 101 freeway in Sherman Oaks early Friday morning.

The collision involving a big-rig and a car occurred just after 2:50 a.m. on the westbound 101 freeway at Van Nuys Boulevard, according to California Highway Patrol.

It's unclear if anyone was hurt.

The truck overturned and spilled a small amount of milk and diesel fuel.

A Sig Alert was issued and several westbound lanes of the 101 freeway were shut down during the cleanup, causing a major traffic backup. The freeway fully reopened a little before 8 a.m. 

The circumstances of the collision were not immediately disclosed.
