Big rig carrying propane tanks crashes west of Merced
A big rig carrying propane containers crashed west of Merced on Monday night, leaving the small tanks strewed across the roadway.
The solo crash occurred at State Route 165 and State Route 140 just south of Stevinson, the California Highway Patrol in Merced said.
The impact of the crash caused the cab of the truck to separate from the trailer. Fire crews and tow-truck operators worked to clear the scene.
The driver of the truck suffered minor injuries, the CHP reported.
