According to CHP, the crash occurred in the northbound lane of Highway 41 near the Highway 99 interchange shortly after 12:30 p.m. on Friday.

The container fell off onto the right lanes of the highway, and the SUV overturned before coming to rest in the fast lane. CHP says the driver of the big rig was injured.
