A significant traffic collision involving three vehicles occurred today on State Route 4 East at San Marco Boulevard in Bay Point, CA. The incident happened around 3:34 PM and involved a jackknifed big rig, a gray SUV, and a white Lexus sedan. The collision resulted in the blockage of multiple lanes, causing substantial traffic disruption.
Emergency services responded promptly to the scene, where the jackknifed big rig had taken out two vehicles, leading to all lanes being initially blocked. Traffic was diverted off to San Marco Boulevard, and an ambulance was requested, although the nature of any injuries remains unknown.
By 4:20 PM, crews managed to open the fourth lane, allowing some traffic to flow. However, heavy-duty tow trucks were needed to assist with the removal of the damaged vehicles, which caused further delays. Fortunately, by 5:00 PM, all lanes were cleared, and traffic began to return to normal.
The California Highway Patrol issued a signal alert during the incident, warning drivers of the blocked lanes and advising caution. The situation was managed effectively, ensuring that motorists could safely navigate the area as the vehicles were cleared from the roadway.
Motorists are reminded to stay alert and drive safely, especially in the aftermath of such incidents.
