DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- A major freeway transition road was shut down for more than five hours early Monday morning in downtown Los Angeles after a semi-truck overturned and spilled garbage onto a parking lot below.
The big rig crashed shortly before 3 a.m. and prompted the California Highway Patrol to close the ramp between the westbound 10 Freeway and northbound 110 Freeway, near the Los Angeles Convention Center.
