Sonora Pass was shut down on Tuesday after a semi truck driver followed GPS directions and became stuck, according to the California Highway Patrol (CHP).

On July 14, 2026, CHP’s Bridgeport Division reported that a semi truck driver “ignored numerous signs and warnings because his GPS said it was okay to take this route.”

According to Caltrans, State Route 108 (Sonora Pass) is closed due to the stuck truck blocking both lanes just east of Leavitt Creek Vista Point.

Semi-trucks over 38 feet (kingpin to rear axle) are prohibited from traveling on State Route 108 (Sonora Pass), Caltrans said.

Troopers reminded truckers to visit https://dot.ca.gov/…/legal-truck-access/truck-network-map for a list of approved legal access routes for trucks and trailers.
