ANAHEIM — A big rig lost its load Wednesday night when it struck the La Palma Avenue overcrossing on the eastbound Riverside (91) Freeway in Anaheim.

The crash occurred just after 7 p.m. and prompted the closure of four lanes of the freeway, according to the California Highway Patrol.

The driver said he was transporting a 60,000-pound refrigerator that was to be delivered to a marijuana grow operation in Desert Hot Springs when he took a wrong turn and ended up on the Riverside Freeway, where he accidentally got stuck under the bridge, KCAL9 reported.

A SigAlert was issued for the Nos. 2 through 5 lanes of the eastbound Riverside Freeway at the Orange (57) Freeway for an unknown duration. Later, by 11:48 p.m., the northbound 57 Freeway ramp to the eastbound 91 was closed as well, the CHP log showed.
