TRUCKEE (CBS13) — A jackknifed big rig closed down westbound Interstate 80 near the California-Nevada border Thursday night into Friday, the California Highway Patrol Truckee said.

According to the CHP, all westbound lanes and one eastbound lane were blocked west of Farad close to the border.

Gonna be one of those kind of nights I see.

This one is going to take a bit to clean up.
