Per the Reporting Party: CHP is on scene of a semi truck and box trailer (unknown cargo) that has crashed off the freeway and landed in the California Aqueduct. A search is underway for the driver of the semi truck. There was no mention of any hazmat placards on the trailer. It is unknown if any of the fluids from the semi tractor or refrigeration unit have released. The semi tractor is completely submerged and the box trailer is mostly submerged. It is unknown how much fuel was on board in the saddle fuel tanks. The Fire Department was on scene and has since cleared; Kern County Sheriffs Search and Rescue is responding to continue the search for driver.
