SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — A large industrial tank fell from a big rig onto the state Route 76 transition ramp to Interstate 15 in the North County Wednesday morning, forcing a closure that was expected to last several hours.
Caltrans officials said the closure was in effect at around 10 a.m. on the eastbound SR-76 connector ramp to northbound I-15.
According to the California Highway Patrol's incident log, the empty tank reportedly fell from a truck late Tuesday afternoon.
The tank was described by the CHP as 15-20 feet long that could carry 20,000-30,000 gallons.
Caltrans stated the ramp was expected to be shut down until at least 3 p.m. for crews to remove the tank from the shoulder.
