Tanker Strikes Overhead Sign on 210 Freeway

The big rig overturned after striking the freeway sign near Pennsylvania Avenue

Lanes of the eastbound 210 Freeway were closed overnight in La Crescenta after a tanker  truck struck an overhead sign and left fuel and debris on the freeway.

The truck hauling empty tanks struck the sign at Pennsylvania Avenue at about 11 p.m. Tuesday and flipped over, according to the California Highway  Patrol. Fuel from the truck leaked onto the freeway, the CHP reported.

The eastbound side of the freeway was closed at Pennsylvania Avenue so  crews could clean up the spill and repair the overhead sign, the CHP reported. 

Two left lanes reopened early Wednesday. Other lanes reopened at about 7:30 a.m.
