“A white Dodge was racing another vehicle when it crashed [and] caused the semi to roll over and hit the guardrail,” the CHP spokesperson said.
Each party involved in the collision was evaluated for minor injuries.
It is not known if drugs or alcohol played a factor in crash, and the investigation remains ongoing.
