A crash involving a jackknifed tractor-trailer shut down lanes on the 60 and 605 freeways Tuesday afternoon near Avocado Heights, leaving traffic snarled for the evening commute.
Caltrans officials on Twitter said lanes aren’t expected to reopen until about 7 p.m.
The crash was reported at 2 p.m. on the southbound 605 connector road to the westbound 60 freeway, according to the California Highway Patrol incident log.

The big rig was on its side and scrap metal was in traffic lanes, according to reports made to the CHP.
A SigAlert was issued just after 2:40 p.m. for the No. 1 lane of the southbound 605 transition to the westbound 60 freeway, and for the No. 4 lane at the westbound 60 and the 605.
