How did the truck driver get there...the highway was supposed to be closed. Did he drive through barricades or was the closure not well marked? Since he said he was sorry I’m guessing the closure wasn’t well identified.

Per several accounts I read yesterday, including one linked above, the cops put up the barricades behind him, after he was already past.
Other stories I read also said that originally, the freeway was only closed in one direction. The “protesters’ were only supposed to be on the opposite, closed, side of the freeway, but several had crossed the center barrier, into the open lanes; that’s what prompted police to also belatedly close the side he was on, rather than clearing the barrier jumpers. “Protesters” claimed other motorists managed to slow down, and “respectfully pass” them on the right.
