OTAY MESA
A semi-truck overturned and slammed into a power pole early Wednesday, closing the road leading to the commercial crossing at the U.S.-Mexico border in Otay Mesa.
The solo-vehicle crash was reported shortly after 6:20 a.m. on La Media Road just north of Siempre Vive Road. The driver was not injured.
OnScene TV reported that the truck was hauling pecans.
The truck went off the road and damaged a power pole, said police Officer Dino Delimitros. San Diego Gas and Electric Co. was notified and utility workers were expected to arrive on site around 8 a.m. to begin making repairs, Delimitros said.
