The transition road from the northbound Orange (57) Freeway to the westbound Foothill (210) Freeway was closed Thursday after a tractor-trailer collided with the right shoulder wall and spilled drywall and spewed diesel fuel onto the freeway.

No injuries were reported and no other vehicles were involved when the tractor-trailer collided with the wall around 11:57 p.m. Wednesday, a California Highway Patrol spokesperson said.

Video from the scene shows drywall and diesel fuel scattered across a wide area of the roadway and shoulder as authorities conduct cleanup work.

The transition road was closed following the collision and the CHP issued a SigAlert, which was still active as of 4 a.m.
