A rollover crash involving a tractor trailer was reported Monday night on the southbound 710 Freeway.
As per the initial information, the single-vehicle wreck took place at around 10:30 p.m. on the northbound Pacific Coast Highway off-ramp. The early reports showed that a tractor trailer flipped over on the southbound 710 Freeway in Long Beach, spilling 1,000 pounds of hay bales onto the freeway and closing it down for hours.
Giant bales of hay were spilled onto freeway lanes due to the crash. It is unknown if the incident caused any injuries. A Sig alert was announced for the off-ramp while several tow trucks with forklifts were requested to help reload the bales onto the flatbed truck that lost them.
All southbound lanes were shut down for a short time while crews worked to clear the scene. The southbound 710 Freeway to southbound PCH were reopened to traffic, but lanes to northbound PCH remained blocked during the cleanup. No other information is available.
The wreck remains under review.
