A collision caused a tanker truck to overturn on the Antelope Valley (14) Freeway in Agua Dulce as fuel leaked out of the tanker, prompting freeway lanes and an on-ramp to be shut down throughout the early morning hours Monday.
The collision was reported to the California Highway Patrol at 4:57 p.m. Sunday on the northbound Antelope Valley Freeway just north of the Agua Dulce Canyon Road off-ramp.
A witness told the CHP two of the vehicles involved in the collision with the tanker truck appeared to be involved in a speed contest before the impact.
No arrests were reported and it was not immediately known if there were any injuries, CHP Officer Sergio Garci told City News Service.
The CHP issued a SigAlert about 6 p.m. Sunday, shutting down the northbound lanes of the 14 Freeway and the Agua Dulce Canyon Road on-ramp to the freeway during the cleanup. The CHP’s Garcia reported two lanes of the freeway reopened by 4:30 a.m. Monday.
