A semi-truck without a trailer collided with a guard rail on southbound State Route 99 near Clinton Avenue in Fresno, CA, early this morning. The incident occurred at approximately 4:37 AM, resulting in debris on the roadway and a partial lane blockage.
Emergency services responded promptly to the scene, where the semi-truck had struck the guard rail, causing debris to scatter across the slow lane. A heavy-duty tow truck was requested to assist with the removal of the vehicle. Cleanup efforts began immediately, with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) also dispatched to manage the situation.
