Big rig makes mess in Modesto

   UPDATE at 12:10 PM:  Per CHP the Hwy 99 freeway is now open but the Pelandale offramp is still closed.

    UPDATE at 9:05 AM:  Another crash has been reported on Hwy 99 South at Pelandale involving a white Toyota and a blue Scion. No injuries have been reported in either crash.


   February 2, 2015 at 9 PM:  A big rig hit a center divide near Hwy 99 North and Pelandale Ave in Modesto around 3:30 AM and damages the divide along with spilling contents of the vehicle all over the roadway. The big rig lost at least one axle in the crash.

   Lanes were partially blocked and a sig-alert was required.  Diesel was also spilled and CHP was awaiting Caltrans for clean-up at 7 AM.  Use extra caution if headed that way, as they still have not issued an all clear.
