IRWINDALE, Calif. (KABC) -- A crash involving a big rig and RV forced the closure of some westbound lanes of the 210 Freeway in Irwindale Friday morning.

The incident was reported around 4:40 a.m. at Irwindale Avenue, according to the California Highway Patrol. Details about what led up to the crash were not available, but the agency said the large RV went off the roadway.
