A semi hauling hazardous materials has overturned on the roadway SB I-5, south of SR518 this evening. The SB I-405 ramp to SB I-5 is also closed.

#Southcenter: There's a semi overturned on southbound I-5 near SR 518 that is blocking most all of the lanes. Very small window for traffic to get around on the HOV lane, but expect some lengthy delays with this one.
