A travel trailer rollover on the southbound Highway 14 caused delays of up to an hour for commuters on Friday afternoon, according to the Sigalert app and first responders.
“The CHP (California Highway Patrol) Newhall area office responded to a solo vehicle spinout on (State Route) 14 southbound, south of Golden Valley Road,” CHP Public Information Officer Josh Greengard said in a text message to The Signal. “The driver of a white, Chevrolet Silverado towing a 30-foot trailer lost control, causing the trailer to overturn, land on its right side and the two vehicles to jackknife.”
Two dogs were involved in the incident but remained on the scene and were uninjured, Greengard added.
“The vehicle came to rest on the No. 1 and No. 2 lanes,” said Greengard in the text message.
First responders were dispatched to the travel trailer rollover on the southbound Highway 14 near Placerita Canyon Road at 1:14 p.m., said Kaitlin Aldana, a spokeswoman with the Los Angeles County Fire Department.
The L.A. County Fire Department arrived on the scene at 2:17 p.m. No injuries or transports were reported, said Geovanni Sanchez, a spokesman with the L.A. County Fire Department.
According to Sigalert, the travel trailer was blocking the carpool and left lane with traffic being stopped. Commuters were advised to expect a delay of up to 20 minutes initially, but expectations of delays were updated for up to an hour while a heavy tow vehicle was brought in to put the trailer back on its wheels for removal.
