A major traffic disruption is shutting down northbound lanes of Hwy. 99 late Sunday morning. A semi-truck hauling Amazon packages crashed into a bridge in Delano and spilled debris across the roadway, according to the California Highway Patrol.<\/p>\n

The incident was first reported around 9:49 a.m. as a solo vehicle crash involving a semi-truck pulling an Amazon trailer, just south of County Line Rd. <\/p>\n

Authorities said the trailer became detached from the cab and struck a concrete bridge pillar just south of Delano, scattering packages and debris across all lanes.<\/p>\n

According to the CHP Incident Page, 100 yards of debris covered the roadway and the trailer was severely compromised after hitting the overpass structure.<\/p>\n

All northbound lanes were stopped around 10:16 a.m. The Delano Police Department assisted with holding on-ramps at both Cecil Avenue and the County Line Road interchange.<\/p>\n

Caltrans was later called in to to initiate a full \u201chard closure\u201d of northbound Hwy. 99. Drivers are being rerouted westbound to Road 144, then north to Avenue 24, where they could re-enter the freeway.<\/p>\n

Cleanup crews and heavy-duty tow services were called to remove the damaged trailer and scattered cargo. <\/p>\n
