At around 4 a.m., the semi hauling paper products left the roadway just before Sacramento Avenue, hit a call box and a fog advisory sign before it stopped in a ditch filled with mud running alongside the road, according to a CHP spokesperson.

The driver was taken to the hospital with unknown injuries and was later arrested on DUI charges.

Crews cut the back doors off the trailer and will offload the cargo before attempting to tow the truck from the ditch.
