A semi-truck accident occurred today on the southbound lanes of Interstate 5 near Liberal Avenue in Corning, CA. The incident took place around 6:12 PM when the truck crossed from the southbound lanes and crashed into a nearby field. Fortunately, no injuries were reported.

Emergency responders quickly arrived on the scene to manage the situation. The semi-truck, which was hauling lumber, became stuck approximately one foot deep in mud. A tow truck was called to recover the vehicle, and the recovery operation is expected to take several hours. To ensure the safety of both responders and motorists, a hard closure was implemented in the second lane of the southbound side of the highway.

The California Highway Patrol confirmed that the truck crossed diagonally from the southbound lanes to the northbound side before coming to rest in the field. Authorities are monitoring the area to ensure safe passage for vehicles as recovery efforts proceed.
