The incident was reported about 2:44 a.m. near Colfax Avenue, where the big rig and a white Hyundai sedan collided, according to a California Highway Patrol incident log. No injuries were reported.
The semi began leaking diesel fuel on the roadway after the impact, prompting the CHP to issue a Sigalert. Caltrans crews responded to the scene and used brooms and an absorbent to clean up the spill.
