SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO – A trash truck overturned Monday afternoon on Ortega Highway near Antonio Parkway, which will close the road in both directions for several hours.
The truck, which was carrying a full load of trash in its open-top rear, was going east around 12:20 p.m. on Ortega Highway when it swerved and overturned for an unknown reason, California Highway Patrol Officer Denise Quesada said.
Trash spilled onto both lanes of the highway, triggering a SigAlert.
Caltrans officials, with the help of the Lake Elsinore Police Department, had been expected to assist with the clean-up until at least 6 p.m.
No one was injured in the crash, Quesada said.
Drivers attempting to get to the Temecula area have been advised to use the northbound 55 freeway to the eastbound 91.�
