Officials closed the freeway at about 7 p.m. due to snowy conditions. Thousands of drivers spent hours of their New Year's Eve at a standstill.
"We were supposed to be at a family gathering tonight, but apparently we're going to spend it on the road due to the closure now," Daniel Virgen from Fresno said.
