Some crazy misinformation and making shit up going on here.

Was not an accident per se, whether fatal or not has not been shared. A SB dump truck lost control, hit the median, burst into flames, exploded a few times.

Also didn't happen at 11:40, happened just after 9.

Hwy 99 was never shut down. Since an hour ago it has been reopened in both directions with SB detoured onto Hwy 17 around the wreck.

Jesus man, get your shit together.

99 was shut down in the morning since the truck hit the median and blocked both nb/sb.

There is a fatality.

Either way, avoid 99 as much as possible today. Take either 17 or 91 to 99 if you are heading to the states.

Read earlier today that it was suggested the truck may have blew a tire before losing control, wasn't confirmed though.

God has all our lives planned out. There are no accidents.

God is good.
