The collision, which also involved a light-blue Toyota Prius, occurred just south of Florence Avenue and prompted the California Highway Patrol to close all northbound lanes on the freeway shortly before 6 a.m. One lane was later reopened.
According to a CHP incident log, the truck driver told officers that he believed he blew a tire before the crash. His arm was hurt in the impact.
All lanes were reopened at around 9:30 a.m., the Highway Patrol said.
