SACRAMENTO – A car fire and an overturned semi-trailer caused major traffic chaos on southbound Interstate 5 in Sacramento Friday morning.

The first incident occurred shortly after 4 a.m. near the Sutterville Road exit. A semi-trailer loaded with hay overturned, spilling hay all over the highway.

Then, just a few hundred meters away from the overturned hay wagon, a car caught fire.

No injuries were reported in either incident, the California Highway Patrol said, but the highway is heavily congested.

All lanes of southbound I-5 are closed at Sutterville Road, but some traffic is moving to the right shoulder. Motorists are asked to use Highway 99.

Motorists must expect significant delays throughout the morning.
