Original post at 3:20 p.m.: Tuolumne County, CA — Emergency crews are on the scene of a three vehicle crash on Highway 108 and J-59/La Grange Road in the Keystone area of Tuolumne County.
The CHP reports that a Crystal Dairy Semi and two other vehicles collided at that intersection. Initially, traffic was stopped in both directions as the wreckage was blocking all lanes of the highway. The eastbound lane has since been cleared and officers are now directing one-way traffic as the wreckage and debris still needs to be removed from the westbound lane.
Traffic is backed up in the area. There is no estimated time by the CHP as to when the highway will completely reopen so travelers may want to avoid the area. No injuries are reported in the crash.
