Santa Clarita, CA (July 28, 2025) – A tanker truck overturned Monday morning on the 14 Freeway in Santa Clarita, blocking lanes and causing hours-long delays.
Accident Details: According to the California Highway Patrol, the tanker flipped on its side around 4:00 a.m. near the Newhall Avenue off-ramp. The truck’s fuel cargo remained contained, but cleanup and investigation shut down multiple lanes well into the morning commute.
CHP did not confirm whether anyone was injured, but the severity of the crash and scale of the response raise concern for possible injuries.
Investigation and Legal Considerations: Authorities are working to determine how the tanker overturned. Investigators will examine driver fatigue, speed, road conditions, and truck maintenance records. Depending on findings, liability may fall on the driver or the trucking company.
We are relieved the fuel remained contained and hope any individuals involved are safe and recovering.
