A big rig loaded with office supplies flipped over on a tight turn on Highway 152 (Hecker Pass) Thursday afternoon, dumping its load down a steep ravine. The trailer flipped onto its side.
CHP said there were only minor injuries, but Caltrans had to close the highway in both directions for over six hours. #santacruzmountains #santacruzcounty #caltrans
