A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred today on State Route 51 North at the H Street off-ramp in Sacramento, CA. The incident took place around 7:49 PM and involved a red Subaru and a white van. Fortunately, no injuries were reported.

Emergency services responded quickly to the scene, where it was determined that the white van was not drivable due to a flat tire. Multiple towing services were contacted to assist with the situation, but they encountered challenges in providing the necessary equipment for the tow. Both vehicles were located on the right-hand side of the roadway, which affected traffic flow.

As the California Highway Patrol managed the scene, they ensured that traffic was directed safely around the incident. The initial tow truck requests were made, but due to the size of the white van, a medium-duty tow truck was ultimately needed. Several towing companies were contacted, but some were unable to accommodate the request due to equipment limitations.

By 8:30 PM, the situation was resolved, and both vehicles were cleared from the roadway, allowing traffic to resume normal flow. Motorists in the area experienced minimal delays as emergency services worked efficiently to manage the incident.

This incident highlights the importance of safe driving and regular vehicle maintenance to prevent breakdowns on the road.
