Northbound Highway 23 heading into the Bardsdale area was backed up Thursday afternoon by a crash involving a semitrailer.

A semi had reportedly ended up in a ditch along the state route north of Moorpark around 4:15 p.m., according to California Highway Patrol reports. The incident took place near the juncture with Bardsdale Avenue.

The big rig was said to be blocking northbound lanes. The route provides a link between Moorpark and Fillmore, with access to the Highway 126 corridor.

The semi tractor had reportedly been hauling a fully loaded 53-foot trailer, according to CHP log notes.

A passenger car, possibly a sedan or SUV, may also have been involved.

No injuries were reported.

As of 5 p.m., northbound traffic had backed past the sand and gravel quarries along the 23.

Earlier Thursday, a jackknifed big rig had closed lanes on Highway 126 west of Piru. That incident had been cleared up by noon.
