Big rig rolled over on side slows traffic on 101 through Los Alamos

LOS ALAMOS, Calif. - The California Highway Patrol responded to the scene of a traffic accident involving a rolled-over big rig.

The accident was reported at 7:25 a.m. when the big rig reportedly hit an embankment and rolled. The driver was treated for minor injuries. The truck was carrying a massive amount of soil, which was making it difficult to upright.

The crash, which only involved the large truck, was blocking the southbound number two lane of Highway 101 in Los Alamos. Traffic was flowing in the number one lane, but was slow in the area until roughly 3:30 p.m. when the accident was finally cleared, according to the CHP.

A heavy-duty tow truck was brought in to get the vehicle back on its wheels and eventually cleared.
