CHP Closes Lanes on Riverside Freeway After Sludge Spill
The California Highway Patrol closed off the eastbound lanes on the Riverside Freeway on Sunday night between Brookhurst Road and Magnolia Avenue and diverted traffic to southbound Interstate 5 after a truck spilled 79,000 pounds of sludge.
The lanes were closed off at about 10 p.m. Sunday.
The spill came about an hour after the CHP had to close off the southbound lanes on Interstate 5 at Camino de Estrella in San Clemente after a pedestrian was struck and killed. The lanes were reopened a half-hour later.
No other details were available.
