FRESNO, Calif. (KMJ/KFSN) — A truck driver was taken to the hospital following a multi-car crash that ended with 70,000 pounds of juice spilling onto a Fresno highway.
The California Highway Patrol says the crash happened after 2:45 a.m. Friday on northbound Highway 99 near Herndon Avenue.
Officers say the driver of the semi-truck lost control and hit a nearby embankment, causing the semi to overturn into the two right lanes.
The semi-truck driver was taken to the hospital with injuries to their arm.
The CHP says another semi-truck tried to avoid the overturned semi and was rear-ended by a Ford F-250. Both drivers walked away with mild injuries.
All lanes of Highway 99 were initially blocked due to the crash but now traffic is open to one lane.
