Rig Jackknifes on Riverside Freeway
ANAHEIM — A tractor-trailer jackknifed Wednesday afternoon on the Riverside Freeway, knocking out the center divider and snarling commuter traffic for two hours, the California Highway Patrol said.
It was not immediately known whether there were injuries, CHP authorities said.
The truck was westbound at Lemon Street at 2 p.m. when it struck the divider, smashing large chunks of concrete loose into the fast lanes on both sides of the freeway, which caused three lanes to be shut down from 2 to 5:30 p.m., CHP Officer Kevin Livingston said.
