A big rig tanker driver was hospitalized with non life- threatening injuries today after his vehicle overturned on a hillside below the Glendale (2) Freeway, authorities said.
The 3:30 a.m. accident closed the connector road from the eastbound Ventura (134) Freeway to the southbound 2, said California Highway Patrol Officer Francisco Villalobos. The southbound 2 remained open. The cause of the crash was under investigation.
The tanker was full of milk, some of which flowed into nearby storm drains, authorities said.
