A loaded big rig on the westbound Santa Monica (10) Freeway in West Los Angeles struck an overpass connecting the southbound San Diego (405) Freeway to the eastbound 10 Monday, sending debris onto the road and prompting lane closures and a SigAlert.

Two westbound lanes were initially closed following the 6:45 a.m. crash as a heavy-duty tow truck was summoned to the scene and the overpass was inspected for structural damage, according to the California Highway Patrol.

A full westbound closure was later put in effect, with traffic diverted to the northbound 405, to allow Caltrans to clean up debris and clear the big rig.

One lane of three lanes was later reopened, the CHP reported about 11:30 a,m,

No injuries were reported.
