The connector road from the southbound 605 Freeway to the 91 Freeway was shut down early today after an SUV driver fell asleep and damaged 50-70 feet of guardrail, authorities said.

The crash was reported just before 2 a.m. and the driver of the silver Acura RDX told the California Highway Patrol he fell asleep.

Caltrans was called to make repairs, and the connector road remained closed as of 6 a.m., the CHP said. No injuries were reported.
