Details are limited, but the CHP traffic incident log indicates a driver in a white SUV was traveling recklessly and at more than 100 miles per hour just before hitting a right-shoulder wall. The SUV came to rest on its roof, blocking two right lanes.

A gray pickup truck was also blocking the roadway, but it was unclear whether it made contact with the SUV.

Medics and a blood tech were en route to the scene, indicating likely injuries and suspected intoxication.
