Paramedics transported a stabbing victim to a local hospital in undisclosed condition.

CHP officers chased after and caught up to a suspect on the southbound 5 Freeway near the 134 interchange. It appeared the suspect lost control of the red pickup truck and went up an embankment of the freeway.

For a while, all 5 lanes in the southbound direction were closed, creating a major backup. Within about half an hour, only one lane remained closed but traffic was moving very slowly through the area.
