SANTA CLARITA -- A truck hauling pomegranates crashed on the 5 Freeway Tuesday morning in the Santa Clarita area, creating a traffic nightmare for commuters headed to Los Angeles.
The crash, involving two trucks, occurred just north of the junction with the Antelope Valley (14) Freeway at about 3:40 a.m., said Officer Patrick Kimball of the
California Highway Patrol.
The load of boxed pomegranates spilled onto the southbound 5 freeway, creating a mess which was blocking at least one lane.
The cause of the crash is under investigation.
No major injuries were reported.
At least one lane was shut down for about five hours while crews worked to clean up the mess.
Traffic remained slow in the area even after the spill was cleared.
