[ORIGINAL STORY]

Traffic along the 101 northbound has been stopped since about 7:20 a.m. when a box truck loaded with tires hit a guardrail at Sheffield Drive. A tow truck has been on scene since 8:30 a.m., trying to pull the truck off the barrier without shifting the load and causing it to fall onto the freeway.
