Interstate 10 Snarls Traffic After a Big Rig Jack-Knifed On Freeway
A big-rig that jack-knifed in the middle of Interstate 10 in Palm Springs on Friday literally brought traffic to a standstill for a time.
The accident happened just after 9 a.m. near the Palm Drive exit on the westbound side of the freeway, according to California Highway Patrol officers.
Crews quickly shut down the on-ramp to Palm Drive, as well as two lanes of the interstate while the big rig was straightened up and towed away.
The truck was out of the way by 10 a.m., according to the CHP.
The driver was apparently not injured.
