Highway 168 reopens after big rig overturns, spills gravel, CHP says
The California Highway Patrol reopened Highway 168 in eastern Fresno County after crews cleaned up a spill from an overturned big rig Thursday.
Traffic on Highway 168 from Millerton Road was shut down for about two hours as Caltrans cleaned up the spill.
CHP spokesman Mike Salas said the big rig overturned by accident after the driver probably over-corrected a turn. He was traveling west on the highway. The man was not hurt in the accident, Salas said.
Traffic was re-routed onto Old Millerton Road to Auberry Road from Highway 168, but the highway has since reopened.
