The Interstate 5 Freeway was closed through the Grapevine overnight due to a shooting investigation after a truck driver was shot on the roadway by two suspects who fled on foot.
The 5 Freeway remained closed in both directions in the Grapevine area as snowy and icy conditions persisted following a recent storm. It was white knuckles. It was treacherous, he said, adding that it was worth the trip in the end.
The snow prompted the closure of the Grapevine Monday and brought traffic in the Cajon Pass to an absolute crawl. The Grapevine was eventually reopened Tuesday afternoon.
With the snow level dropping all the way to the foothills, drivers heading up to the mountains on Highway 330 had to chain up. Chains were required for all vehicles, even those with four-wheel drive.
