Big Rig Flips, Several Lanes of Northbound 5 Closed

All of you looking for a quick getaway Up North might want to think about going tomorrow morning, or taking the scenic route up the 101, or getting ready for some long delays.

NBC4 is reporting that due to a semi-truck crash in Castaic, the CHP is detouring northbound cars off the freeway to avoid the wreckage.

Several lanes of the Northbound 5 Freeway are closed because of a big rig crash in Castaic, NBC4 reported.

One lane is open.

The big rig flipped over on its side after 3 p.m.

There are no report of injuries.

Traffic was being rerouted off the 5 Freeway at Lake Hughes Road.

As you can see from the Google Map above, as of 5:26pm, the main route out of LA to head to Frisco is fubar.

So heads up!

Update: A nice picture of the flipped rig here.
