YOLO COUNTY – A big rig ended up hanging partially off the Yolo Bypass early Tuesday morning as strong winds blew over Northern California.

The crash happened just after 3:30 a.m. on the southbound lane of Interstate 5 outside of Woodland.

Part of the big rig's trailer ended up hanging off the bypass after the crash.

Officers say the driver was taken to the hospital but is expected to be OK.

Lanes on southbound I-5 were blocked through the early morning hours and Caltrans didn't have an estimated time of reopening. Drivers were being turned around at County Road 102. 

Traffic is now being let through, but drivers should expect residual delays through the morning commute.
