California Highway Patrol were on the scene and had to temporarily shut down the freeway slow lane and the onramp to southbound I-15 while they worked on getting the semi off the guardrail.
Accident investigators believe the semi veered to the right shoulder, collided with a guardrail landed on top of the bridge guardrail.
At this time, impairment from alcohol or drugs is not considered a factor in the crash, nor is excessive speed. There is a possibility the driver fell asleep.
