A truck pulling a camper and another trailer got stuck while pulling into the Sonora Plaza Shopping Center entrance near the Big O Tires. It is completely blocking one of the westbound lanes and half of the other on Mono Way.
A large tow truck is on the way, but police say it could take up to an hour to reach the scene. Officers are directing travelers around the hazard, which is causing a backup of traffic in the area. Police ask that motorists avoid the area if possible.
