A multi-vehicle collision occurred today on State Route 14 South near Santiago Road Off-Ramp in Acton, CA, involving four vehicles. The incident took place at approximately 9:28 AM and resulted in significant lane blockages, although no injuries were reported.
The vehicles involved included a gray Honda Civic, a black Tesla, a red Toyota Tacoma, and a maroon Kia. Following the crash, three vehicles were reported blocking multiple lanes just one minute later, prompting a swift response from the California Highway Patrol (CHP).
By 9:30 AM, confirmation of the multi-vehicle collision was established, and emergency services began to assess the situation. The CHP worked diligently to move the vehicles, but by 10:10 AM, they requested additional units for traffic control as the vehicles continued to obstruct the roadway. Despite the efforts, the vehicles remained in place until 11:01 AM, when they were finally cleared from the scene.
Throughout the incident, multiple units from the CHP responded, ensuring the safety of all involved. A towing service was requested at 9:43 AM to assist in removing the vehicles, which were ultimately towed from the site without any reported injuries to the occupants.
The effective management of the situation by the CHP helped minimize the impact on traffic, although delays were likely due to the lane blockages. Motorists in the area were advised to seek alternative routes until the roadway was fully cleared.
This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of safe driving practices and the potential for unexpected collisions on busy roadways. The CHP encourages all drivers to remain vigilant and adhere to traffic laws to prevent similar occurrences in the future.
