A traffic collision occurred today on State Route 99 South near Plainsburg Road in Le Grand, CA, involving two vehicles. The incident was reported at approximately 8:54 PM when a white pickup truck lost a ladder, which subsequently became a hazard on the roadway. A second vehicle may have struck the ladder shortly after.
Emergency services responded promptly, with units arriving by 9:05 PM. Fortunately, no injuries were reported as a result of the collision. However, the white pickup truck was likely rendered undriveable due to the loss of the ladder, while the status of the second vehicle remains uncertain.
The ladder posed a significant obstruction on the road, and the second vehicle involved pulled over approximately one mile south of the initial collision site, activating its hazard lights in response to the situation. Emergency responders assessed the scene and confirmed that the ladder was still on the road, creating a potential risk for other drivers.
Due to the circumstances, it was indicated that a tow truck would not be able to respond immediately. The involved parties were informed that they would need to wait up to 48 hours for the towing process to begin. This delay may impact traffic flow in the area, as the vehicles remained on the roadway for an extended period.
Drivers traveling on State Route 99 South near Plainsburg Road are advised to exercise caution and remain alert for any potential hazards. Authorities are working to ensure the area is safe for motorists and to facilitate the eventual removal of the vehicles involved.
