The vehicles involved included a blue Subaru and a Nissan Altima, both of which sustained significant damage. Emergency responders, including the California Highway Patrol, arrived promptly to manage the scene and ensure the safety of all individuals present.
As the situation unfolded, the first lane was blocked, leading to traffic disruptions in the area. Tow trucks were called to remove the damaged vehicles, and the lanes remained blocked for a considerable period while responders worked to clear the scene.
At approximately 8:56 PM, an ambulance was requested to attend to individuals with minor injuries.
