A budget truck ran off the road at the Interstate 5 North and South Avenue off-ramp in Corning, CA, early this morning at approximately 4:44 AM. Emergency services quickly responded to the scene and confirmed that there were no injuries reported. The truck, loaded with Amazon packages, veered off the off-ramp, requiring a heavy-duty tow for recovery.
By 5:05 AM, a tow truck was dispatched to assist with the recovery of the vehicle, which was located about 20 feet down a hill. The situation required careful maneuvering, as the truck needed to be pulled backwards to safely return to the roadway. Throughout the morning, crews worked diligently to manage the scene and ensure safety for all involved.
The truck was successfully recovered by 9:19 AM, and the freeway was cleared shortly thereafter, allowing traffic to resume normal flow. While the incident caused temporary disruptions, the quick response from emergency services and tow crews minimized the impact on the morning commute.
Motorists traveling through the area are reminded to remain cautious and aware of their surroundings, especially following such incidents. The California Highway Patrol encourages all drivers to prioritize safety and adhere to traffic regulations to prevent similar occurrences in the future.
