HESPERIA, CA. (Pain In The Pass) >> California Highway Patrol is working to determine how the trailer became detached from the tractor on southbound Interstate 15 in Hesperia Friday afternoon.
On Friday morning June 24, 2022 a semi-truck pulling a trailer was traveling on southbound 15 freeway just before Ranchero Road. A witness said the semi was hauling a 20 foot cargo container on the trailer. The semi driver was able to steer the semi and trailer off the freeway into the shoulder.
In the afternoon two heavy duty tow trucks had to remove the container from the broken trailer onto a new trailer. They were able to lift the container from the right shoulder of the freeway onto Caliente Road next to the freeway.
CHP will look into why it was not hooked-up properly or what broke on the trailer.
No one was hurt, but traffic was backed up to Bear Valley Road Friday afternoon.
CHP has not released a cause. No further details have been provided at this time. This incident will be under investigation by the California Highway Patrol Victorville Office. Please check for updates on this incident.
