A semi truck carrying 47,000 pounds of beer has overturned on Highway 299 just west of Big Bar.
According to the California Highway Patrol incident report, the big rig overturned around 5:45 p.m., and is currently blocking the westbound lane of the highway. CHP has set up a hard road closure for the westbound lane, and anticipates the lane will be shut down for roughly another five hours.
The report stats that the truck was initially leaking fuel after the crash, but the spill has since been contained.
A tow truck has been dispatched to the scene.
We will update when we know more.
