A trucker escaped injury Wednesday when a big rig overturned near Whitewater, snarling traffic for more than two hours.

The crash was reported at 9:06 a.m. on the southbound Highway 62 connecter to westbound Interstate 10, according to the California Highway Patrol.

Southbound Highway 62 was closed at Dillon Road until about 11:30 a.m. when the CHP reported the rig was removed from the roadway.

The trailer was empty, and no leaks associated with the crash were reported.
