Truck hauling meat products overturns in Elk Grove on Interstate 5 ramp

A truck carrying meat products overturned on an onramp to Interstate Highway 5 in Elk Grove on Tuesday morning, the California Highway Patrol said.

The crash happened just before 9 a.m. on the Laguna Boulevard onramp to southbound I-5, according to CHP logs. A spokesperson for the CHP told CBS News Sacramento the truck appeared to have overturned because it took the curve in the ramp too fast. 

The meat inside the truck prompted a hazardous material response, and an extended closure of the onramp, the CHP spokesperson said. 

The CHP said the Laguna Boulevard onramp to southbound I-5 was reopened as of 11:34 a.m.
