[UPDATE: Open] Hwy 101 Completely Blocked by Fruit

13275702_10208241273821473_2104680371_n All lanes of Hwy 101 are blocked by a fruit-filled tractor trailer that overturned south north of Piercy about 5:20 p.m. The driver is reportedly uninjured.

The California Highway Patrol Incident page reports that the semi was loaded with fruit. We’ll be updating as soon as we learn more.

UPDATE 5:46 p.m.: A reader who sent in the photo reports that the southbound traffic can use Old Hwy 271 to go around. The truck is reported to be a semi with a cab towing a 40 foot container trailer.
UPDATE 6:05 p.m.: The Ferndale Enterprise reports that traffic is getting through.

UPDATE: Open.

Would it be worse to have an apple spill… or an orange spill?

It couldn’t happen, silly. You’re mixing apples and oranges. 😉

I would say oranges. Any apples that ended up off the road would be eaten by the local wildlife.

It is not “Old Highway 271” but rather Old Highway 101 which was renumbered 271.
