Two tractor-trailer trucks--one hauling green tomatoes and the other lumber--collided early Thursday morning on the southbound Golden State Freeway near Castaic, leaving two lanes blocked for nearly 10 hours.
CHP Sgt. Les Fritz said that the crash occurred about 12:30 a.m., about two miles south of Templin Highway, when Joe Mack Cavasos of Texas--the driver of the truck loaded with tomatoes--apparently fell asleep and rear-ended the other truck. The front end of the tomato truck became wedged into the rear of the other truck, driven by Bobby Dean Doshier of Oklahoma.
