Cement Truck Tips, Closing Exit 2 Hours
- Share via
A cement truck overturned Tuesday afternoon, forcing closure of an exit from the Garden Grove Freeway, authorities said.
The driver was trying to exit the westbound Garden Grove Freeway at The City Drive just after 1:30 p.m. when the vehicle tipped onto its side, said Officer Mark Reeves of the California Highway Patrol.
“Apparently the guy was driving a little too fast,” Reeves said. “He took the turn and then overturned.”
The driver suffered minor injuries and was treated at the scene by paramedics, Reeves said.
Though the truck did not spill its contents, The City Drive exit was closed for two hours as crews worked to set the vehicle upright and move it, Reeves said.
