[Standard Road, CA] A major accident occurred on southbound Highway 99 just south of 7th Standard Road in California, where a semi-truck overturned and blocked the third lane. The incident was reported around noon and according to the California Highway Patrol (CHP) Traffic Incident Information Page, the accident seems to be a solo-vehicle crash.
The CHP Officer Tomas Martinez stated that the cab and trailer of the semi-truck are both on its side, leading to a severe impact on the road. The accident resulted in a spill of approximately 60 gallons of diesel and engine oil on the roadway, causing further hazards to traffic movement.
The CHP has reported that lanes one and two are currently open, but the third lane remains blocked. The authorities are working hard to clear the area and get the traffic moving again as quickly as possible.
We urge everyone to drive safely and be careful on the roads, especially during these challenging times when emergency services are already under significant pressure. We hope that the authorities clear the area soon, and there are no serious injuries to anyone involved in the incident.
