The CHP says reckless driving led to the second big rig crash in two days that caused miles of traffic backups Wednesday afternoon. It happened in the southbound of lanes of I-15 north of Friars Road.
It was the second serious big rig crash in two days that backed up traffic for miles. A fiery big rig crash on Tuesday on the 805 killed the truck driver,
The CHP says a person behind the wheel of an Infiniti G35 was driving recklessly just after 1:30 p.m. Wednesday when they hit another car and then the semi. The crash caused the big rig to overturn and the fuel tank ruptured.
Diesel fuel got into the storm drain, but not the waterways, and the cleanup efforts lasted for nearly 12 hours before the full southbound 15 was reopened at 1:00 a.m. Thursday.
