Overview
- Caltrans reported a full, two‑way closure of Highway 70 at Binney Junction after a morning crash that blocked the roadway.
- Southbound traffic is being detoured at 18th Street and northbound traffic is being detoured at 12th Street to keep vehicles off the closed section.
- Caltrans estimated the highway would reopen at 1 p.m., but that timeline depends on clearance work and safety inspections.
- Photos posted by Caltrans show a large commercial truck lodged under the freeway underpass; officials have not released cause or injury details.
- The incident adds to recent, disruptive large‑vehicle crashes on regional routes and prompted recovery and investigative work by state agencies.
