LEBEC, CA (Saturday, Jan. 3, 2015 at 8:05 p.m.)—A jackknifed big rig was blocking northbound lanes of Interstate 5 on the Grapevine this evening as traffic backed up for about a mile and a half to the south. At approximately 7:22 p.m. CHP reported a big rig stopped on the northbound I-5 about a half mile north of the Fort Tejon overpass. Within minutes, further reports of several vehicles possibly rolled came through. By 7:41 p.m., CHP confirmed that there were no injuries and by 8 p.m. the roadway was cleared with all vehicles over to the right-hand shoulder.
