The crash appears to have involved three other vehicles. SkyFOX spotted two of the other vehicles involved. They appeared to be a white Ford pickup truck and another white vehicle. According to information from the CHP, the semi-truck collided into a fire hydrant at around 3 p.m.
This is in an area where the road winds into a hairpin turn.
The semi-truck's cab was seen hanging over an embankment of landscaped property while most of the trailer remained on the road at an awkward angle.
A large tow-truck arrived on the scene shortly after 4:30 p.m. The semi-truck has yet to be attached to the tow truck.
It is not clear what the contents of the semi-truck's trailer were.
What they're saying:
Neighbors said the truck was trying to make a sharp turn and didn't make it. People at the scene we spoke with said the truck hit three cars. After those collisions, neighbors said the truck hit a fire hydrant before careening down the hillside.
The neighbors we spoke with said these types of commercial vehicles aren't allowed in this area.
Donna Moreno said she was shaken up, but was happy no one was hurt. She's the owner of the home the truck nearly plowed into.
"That's the most important thing, I think. Nobody got hurt," she said.
She said when this happened she was in an upstairs bedroom usually used by her grandchildren.
"And I heard this noise, It's not a normal noise, you're not going to ever hear it," Moreno explained.
She was putting things away and hanging items in a closet. "I thought, 'Let me just hang this stuff up and I'll see what happened'. I opened the window. This man is standing…I would say he's feet away from the window, and his truck is in my yard, and I'm thinking Holy Toledo."
She said she went outside to make sure he was OK. She said there was water everywhere.
"There was water in the sky. Everything was flooding," Moreno said. "He [the driver] was bewildered. I started recording." Moreno said there was a language barrier with the driver, who did not seem to speak fluent English.
She said one of the contributing factors to the truck not running into her home was a large metal pole that was left behind when her fence was done. The pole was supposed to be removed, but Moreno said law enforcement officials told her the pole is what helped stop the truck. Moreno said she is insured.
