Big Rig High Centered on Highway 299 Causes Traffic Hazard, Tow Trucks En Route

AI SUMMARY: A big rig was high centered in the eastbound lane on Highway 299, causing vehicles to pass in the passing lane. The reporting party believed a tow would be needed as the big rig was blocking traffic on a blind turn. Although an initial tow request was cancelled, a heavy-duty tow was requested to clear the road sooner. The only available heavy tow company for the area, Buddys, had a limited time to attempt to move the big rig before the heavy-duty tow from Redding could arrive. Meanwhile, California Towing also had a two-hour estimated time of arrival. Eventually, both Buddys and California Towing were notified to respond to the scene.
