Manufactured home falls off big rig on 210 Freeway in Pasadena

A manufactured home toppled off the big rig it was being hauled behind in Pasadena on Monday, colliding with another truck and trailer on the 210 Freeway.

The incident created a massive traffic snarl on westbound lanes of the freeway near the N. Lake Avenue ramps, according to the California Highway Patrol.

Police say that there is one report of an injury, but it's unclear how severe it is.

The driver of the big rig clipped by the home spoke to KCAL News, detailing the moments leading up to the bizarre crash.

He said that he had pulled over on the shoulder of the freeway after his own truck started to experience some issues.

"All of a sudden that load came through, I guess he couldn't slow down or something and ran into the back of me there," said Tarane Black.

He says that his wife, who was sleeping in the cab of the truck, was hospitalized after she was thrown by the force of the crash. She is expected to recover.

SkyCal flew over the scene of the incident, where the trailer of a big rig could be seen suffering from considerable damage. Parts of the dropped home were splintered and debris was scattered across the roadway.

One lane of traffic was being allowed to pass through the area with guidance from CHP officers.

The closure was expected to last for several hours as crews awaited tow trucks and machinery that could remove the house from the freeway.
