Last Night’s Big Rig Spill Will Slow Traffic on Highway 96 For a Bit
A big rig took a spill off Highway 96 between Willow Creek and Hoopa last night — no injuries, thankfully — and they’re getting ready to haul it back up onto the roadway.
“CHP has asked us for a lane closure while the tow company pulls the rig up the hill,” says Caltrans public information officer Eli Rohl. “One-way traffic control is what we’re expecting/seeing right now.”
Those doing the hauling are expecting to have things wrapped up by 1 p.m.
