UPDATE–BIG RIG CRASHES CAUSE I-5 HEADACHES

Caltrans says they don’t know when the southbound I-5 will be reopened after a pair of early morning big rig crashes caused the closure of several lanes starting near the Grapevine.

The CHP says three semis got tangled up at Grapevine Road around 2:15 this morning. There were no injuries to any drivers.

About 45 minutes earlier, two big rigs had collided near Lebec Road with one truck catching on fire. One driver has been taken to the hospital with minor injuries.
