According to the California Highway Patrol (CHP), the fatal incident happened at about 12:40 p.m. on Interstate 5.

Reports say that a box truck veered off Interstate 5 and struck a tree in San Joaquin County.

Officials say that the crash occurred around 12:40 p.m. as the two-axle box truck headed south on Interstate 5, north of Peltier Road.
