YOLO COUNTY, Calif. — Update: 3:50 p.m.
Expect delays for a while longer along westbound Interstate 80 on the Yolo Causeway
The California Highway Patrol said a crash happened around 5 a.m. when a big rig went off the right shoulder into a trench. The big rig overturned, causing lanes to be closed.
A spokesperson for Caltrans said lane closure will be impacting the 5 p.m. commute for people in the area. Officials are urging people to find another way through the area.
People are advised to avoid the area and an alternate route is to take northbound I-5 toward Woodland then go southbound on Highway 113 to Davis.
The lane could be reopened around 6 or 7 p.m., but Caltrans notes that is a very conservative estimate.
