A dump truck crashed and overturned Friday morning on the 71 Freeway in Pomona, spilling a payload of hot tar and prompting authorities to close all southbound lanes and divert traffic onto the right shoulder.

California Highway Patrol officers responded to the scene, near Old Pomona Road, at about 4:53 a.m., according to an incident report on the agency’s website.

At least one other vehicle was involved in the crash, which left the semitrailer on its side and blocking all southbound lanes of the highway. No injuries were reported.

Firefighters and a heavy-duty tow truck were called to the location, and a SigAlert was issued by the CHP.

All lanes were reopened shortly before 11 a.m.
