HACIENDA HEIGHTS -- Two lanes of the eastbound 60 Freeway were blocked by an overturned pickup truck early Friday after a crash that was initially reported as possibly caused by racing cars.
The crash was reported just before 9 a.m. on the eastbound freeway, just west of 7th Avenue, according to California Highway Patrol logs.
Initial reports from 9-1-1 callers at the scene indicated that, "Two vehicles were racing and caused another vehicle to flip over," logs show.
Authorities issued a Sig Alert on the freeway as they moved the wreckage, but cleared the roadway about 20 minutes later.
No injuries were reported.
