KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – A noninjury crash on Highway 29 has resulted in a temporary road closure, with a detour set up to keep traffic moving.
Shortly after 8 p.m. Friday a large diameter limb from an oak tree fell onto Highway 29 near Kit’s Corner, according to Cal Fire Battalion Chief Greg Bertelli.
A semi truck hit the limb and jack-knifed, blocking the road, Bertelli said. The driver was not injured.
The California Highway Patrol said the semi was pulling two trailers. A tow company has been called to help remove the trailers and the semi.
A detour will take drivers around the scene, from Red Hills Road to Highway 175/Cobb, Bertelli said.
Shortly before 9:30 p.m., Bertelli estimated the closure could remain in effect for another hour.
