Exactly what led up to the crash is unclear, but the wreck did close all southbound traffic for a short time.
California Highway Patrol officers at the scene confirmed that the trailer was carrying batteries. None of the load appears to have spilled, however.
Due to the crash, CHP is warning that the number 2 lane is expected to be closed for an extended period. Drivers should expect delays.
