UPDATE: Big Rig Cleared on 101 Connector Ramp
A big rig overturned between Highway 92 and Highway 101 has been cleared and the roadway has reopened.
Emergency road crews have cleared a connector ramp between state Highway 92 and U.S. Highway 101 in San Mateo where a big-rig carrying a load of wrecked vehicles overturned and blocked the roadway for more than three hours this afternoon, a California Highway Patrol officer said.
The big-rig reportedly flipped onto its driver's side at about 12:10 p.m., completely blocking the ramp that connects westbound Highway 92 to southbound Highway 101, CHP Officer Kevin Bartlett said.
The truck's driver was not injured in the crash, and no other vehicles were involved, Bartlett said.
