Lanes reopen after overturned big rig snarls traffic on 210 Freeway in San Dimas
All lanes have reopened on the 210 Freeway in San Dimas after an overturned big rig spilled fuel and debris on the road early Tuesday.
Traffic crawled after a portion of the truck blocked lanes on both sides of the road, according to the California Highway Patrol.
At 1:42 a.m., the driver of the westbound big rig lost control and collided with the concrete divider near North San Dimas Avenue, according to the CHP. The overturned big rig burst into flames and blocked all lanes.
The big rig also took out a sign on a large pole that went across all freeway lanes.
Three portions of the concrete divider were damaged in the crash.
Because the damage was significant, a SigAlert was issued about 2:20 a.m. for the east- and westbound 210 Freeway. By 4:31 a.m., two eastbound lanes and a westbound lane were reopened. CHP reopened all lanes by 7:10 a.m.
