Debris was strewn across the roadway after it fell out of the truck’s container, the traffic camera footage showed.

The westbound 60 Freeway interchange with the northbound 215 Freeway was shut down because of the crash.

“Tow units [are on scene] to try and help upright this thing and get it out of here,” KTLA 5 traffic reporter Ginger Chan said. “But then [crews] still have to take care of whatever it was that leaked into the roadway.”
