The vehicles involved included a white Ford Maverick, a Tesla, and an electric Ford GT. Fortunately, no injuries were reported as a result of the incident.
The collision began when the driver of the white Ford Maverick claimed to have been struck, possibly by the Tesla. Following the impact, the Ford Maverick sustained front-end damage and ended up blocking the fourth lane of traffic. Emergency services responded promptly to the scene to manage the situation.
At 2:12 PM, it was reported that the Tesla was obstructing the slow lane, which added to the traffic disruption. Additionally, the right-hand side of the roadway was already blocked off due to ongoing construction, limiting available lanes for motorists.
By 2:26 PM, a tow truck was called to assist with the removal of the electric Ford GT, which could not be shifted into neutral. Emergency responders worked efficiently to clear the roadway and minimize traffic delays.
The incident was officially cleared by 3:32 PM, with all vehicles towed or removed from the scene. Following the resolution of the collision, the roadway was reopened for traffic, allowing vehicles to resume their normal flow.
Motorists are reminded to exercise caution while driving, especially in areas where construction is taking place. Traffic collisions can occur unexpectedly, and it is crucial to remain vigilant on the road.
