Big Rig Crash Closes Pleasant Hill Road In Lafayette Early Thursday

SHARE

The driver of a semi truck walked away from a messy crash off Highway 24 onto Pleasant Hill Road early Thursday, police closing the roadway to facilitate cleanup of spilled automotive fuels.

The crash was reported shortly after 3 a.m. with the truck driver reportedly telling authorities that he had been rear-ended by another vehicle just prior to the crash, that vehicle leaving the scene.

Pleasant Hill Road under the Highway 24 overpass remained closed at 4:30 a.m. with police hoping to re-open the roadway in time for the morning commute.

  1. While you never know exactly what you are going to get on the 24, you can rest assured that much of it will be dangerous and unnecessary. I’m glad to hear that the driver walked away, as there have been too many instances of drivers being taken away on a gurney or in a body bag.
