California Highway Patrol closed a section of Highway 152 for six-and-a-half hours Wednesday night after a speeding tomato hauler’s rear trailer overturned and spilled a load around midnight.
The tractor/trailer combination driven by Juan Torres of San Joaquin was fishtailed west of Dinosaur Point Road while trying to negotiate a curve, causing the rear trailer to fishtail and collide with the center divider wall, according to the CHP.
CHP said trailer spilled its tomato load, and the bin blocked a lane in both eastbound and westbound traffic.
The driver didn’t report any injuries, and CHP did not suspect drugs or alcohol as being a factor in the incident. No arrests were made.
