Big Rig Crash on Highway 59

Hetch Hetchy, CA– A big rig carrying a load of lumber has overturned at J-59 and Old Don Pedro Road.

No injuries have been reported in this accident, but the lumber that has been spilled into the roadway is believed to be close to 50K pounds and will potentially require a forklift to help clear the roadway. CHP in Sonora is warning travelers that there will be delays in that area. The road is open with one-way traffic control in place.
