A multi-vehicle collision occurred today at the on-ramp of State Route 4 East and Lone Tree Way in Antioch, CA, involving three vehicles: a white Tesla, a white Jeep Wrangler, and a gold Mercedes. The incident was reported at approximately 3:33 PM and resulted in significant damage to all vehicles, rendering them non-drivable.
Emergency services, including the California Highway Patrol and local fire units, responded promptly to the scene. Upon arrival, they found the three vehicles blocking the slow lane, which led to traffic disruptions in the area. While the nature of the collision suggested the potential for injuries, no specific reports of injuries were noted.
The Jeep Wrangler reportedly had mechanical issues, particularly with its front left axle, while the gold Mercedes sustained damage on its right side. The Tesla experienced significant front-end damage.
Due to the obstruction caused by the vehicles, traffic was impacted until the scene was cleared. A tow truck was requested to remove all three vehicles from the roadway, and they were subsequently towed away by a local towing service.
As of 3:55 PM, the vehicles were being removed, and the roadway was expected to be cleared shortly thereafter. Drivers in the area were advised to seek alternate routes until the situation was resolved.
This incident highlights the importance of safe driving practices, especially in high-traffic areas. The California Highway Patrol continues to investigate the circumstances surrounding the collision to determine the cause and any further implications.
