Traffic was impacted after a crash Wednesday morning involving a big rig on 5 Freeway north of Santa Clarita.
As per the initial information, emergency crews actively responded to the southbound 5 Freeway near Templin Highway north of Castaic after getting reports of a traffic collision at about 7:15 a.m. Wednesday. The early reports showed that a big rig veered off the Freeway and went down the embankment for unknown reasons.
The two right lanes are blocked following the wreck. CalTrans officials are working on bringing the truck back up to the roadway, and may have to pump the fuel tank. As of 2 p.m. Wednesday, the right lane was still closed in order to allow for the offloading of 24,000 pounds of frozen chicken. The incident did not cause any major injuries. No other details are available.
An investigation is underway.
