A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred today on the northbound lanes of Interstate 680 at the Sheridan Road off-ramp in Sunol, California. The incident happened around 5:16 PM and involved a gray Kia Forte and a white semi-truck. Fortunately, there were no reported injuries from the collision.
Following the crash, the gray Kia Forte became undriveable and was blocking the third lane of traffic. The semi-truck was also obstructing traffic but was likely drivable. Emergency services, including the California Highway Patrol, responded quickly to the scene to manage the situation.
Initial reports suggested that the driver of the Kia Forte may have experienced a medical issue, leading to a request for an ambulance. However, after further assessment, it was confirmed that there were no injuries involved. The semi-truck driver remained on-site to assist as needed.
By 5:44 PM, both vehicles were moved to the side of the road, allowing all lanes to reopen for traffic. The prompt response from emergency services helped minimize disruption to the flow of traffic on this busy route.
Motorists traveling on Interstate 680 experienced temporary delays during the incident, but the reopening of all lanes shortly after the vehicles were cleared alleviated any significant traffic impact.
This incident highlights the importance of safe driving and being prepared for unexpected situations on the road. The California Highway Patrol encourages all drivers to remain vigilant and report any concerning behavior they may observe while driving.
