YREKA, Cali. – A huge stretch alongside I-5 flooded with cars, going nowhere after Cal Trans shut down the interstate southbound in Yreka. Many were still stuck in Yreka Wednesday afternoon wondering when they’ll ever get to their destination.
“There’s nothing you really can do cause you’re just waiting, waiting in limbo,” said Jozef Namoa who has driven a truck for 4 years.
He’s used to hazardous winter conditions in places like Wyoming, but he didn’t suspect he’d get caught on I-5 Wednesday in Siskiyou Co. as he made his way to Southern California.
“Sometimes you get stuck out there for 3 days, it’s pretty crazy,” said Namoa.
