An overturned big rig carrying a load of dog food caused a traffic tie-up Monday morning in the north San Fernando Valley.
Some dogged determination was required to get through the Monday morning drive north of LA.
An overturned big rig carrying a load of dog food caused traffic tie-ups on at least two freeways.
The big rig with 75,000 pounds of dog food in its trailer tipped onto it side near the 5 Freeway interchange with the 210 Freeway in Sylmar. The dog food bags needed to be removed from the trailer before it could be turned upright and towed from the scene, according to Caltrans.

Delays into the Santa Clarita area were reported on the 14 and 5 freeways.
