Big Rig Hauling 80,000 Pounds Of Produce Crashes On The Peninsula

SAN MATEO, CA — An overturned big rig led to an hours-long closure along a San Mateo-area connector ramp, the California Highway Patrol reports. The non-injury crash happened around 10:30 p.m. Monday and caused traffic issues into the Tuesday morning commute.

The connector ramp from northbound U.S. Highway 101 to eastbound state Highway 92 in San Mateo reopened around 7:30 a.m. Tuesday after closing because of a crash overnight involving a big-rig carrying 80,000 pounds of produce, according to the CHP.

The connector ramp from northbound Highway 101 to westbound Highway 92 was also closed after the crash but reopened late Monday night.

Crews worked through the night to upright the rig, haul it off and clean up the mess left behind.
