A collision caused a tanker truck to overturn on the Antelope Valley (14) Freeway in Agua Dulce Sunday, prompting freeway lanes and an on-ramp to be shut down as fuel leaked out of the tanker.
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 immediately made.
There was no mention of injuries but the item on the CHP’s log indicated there might be people hurt.
The CHP issued a SigAlert about 6 p.m., shutting down the northbound lanes of the 14 Freeway and the Agua Dulce Canyon Road on-ramp to the freeway during the cleanup.
That was followed by a hard closure by Caltrans.
