A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred early this morning on State Route 273 at Hill Street in Shasta County, CA. The incident took place at approximately 2:27 AM when a Nissan collided with an unknown SUV, causing the SUV to overturn and block both lanes of the roadway.
Emergency services responded promptly to the scene, and the incident was classified as a traffic collision with no injuries reported. The overturned SUV created significant traffic disruption, leading to lane closures as crews worked to clear the area. A tow truck was called to assist with the removal of the vehicles involved.
By 2:49 AM, the overturned SUV remained on its roof, obstructing the first and second lanes of traffic. Emergency responders worked diligently to manage the situation and restore normal traffic flow. The Nissan, identified as a Ford Fusion, sustained major front-end damage and was towed from the scene.
Motorists in the area faced delays due to the blocked lanes, but authorities were able to clear the roadway and reopen it to traffic shortly thereafter. This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of safe driving practices, especially during early morning hours when visibility may be reduced.
