Overturned Big Rig on Southbound 101 Near the CR Exit Leaves Driver With Major Injuries
A southbound lumber truck overturned and flipped onto its roof just south of Eureka this morning at around 4:10 a.m., between Fields Landing and the College of the Redwoods exit.
According to reports from CHP officers at the scene, the driver suffered major injuries from the crash, and had to be extricated from the vehicle. His load scattered over the roadway, initially shutting down southbound traffic.
CHP dispatch reports that they estimate it’ll take until noon to remove the truck from the roadway. Expect delays.
