MODESTO – A glass spill on Highway 99 slowed traffic in Modesto Monday afternoon.
The California Highway Patrol said the spill was approximately the length of a football field, and was blocking several lanes. The road hazard was located on the northbound side of Highway 99 just south of Carpenter Road.
Authorities believe the glass came from a tractor trailer that may have caused the spill. CalTrans crews were called to assist with the cleanup. Officials urged motorists to avoid the area.
