A semi-truck lost control on Interstate 5 and veered off the freeway, crashing onto a National City street Thursday and possibly taking out some power lines along the way.
The driver told NBC 7 he was carrying a pineapple-filled Dole brand truck en route to Fullerton when one of his tires blew out and he lost control and crashed through the northbound I-5 guardrail at Main Street.
The truck went down an embankment before landing on its side on a slope leading to Roosevelt Avenue, a National City street, California Highway Patrol said.
CHP did not have any reports of injuries.
San Diego Gas & Electric was called for possible downed power lines and Caltrans was called to fix the broken guardrail, CHP said.
Aerial footage of the scene showed a large hole in the guardrail and tires separated from the crashed semi-truck.
A tow truck was requested to get the truck back upright and crews had the vehicle back on its wheels just after 7 a.m.
Local
CHP asked National City police to shut down part of Roosevelt Avenue for several hours during the morning commute while they worked to remove the truck.
