A traffic collision involving a semi-truck occurred today on the westbound lanes of Highway 50, just west of Harbor Boulevard in West Sacramento, CA. The incident took place at approximately 6:18 AM when the truck collided with a guardrail, resulting in no injuries. The collision rendered the semi-truck inoperable, requiring a tow.
Emergency services responded quickly to the scene, and traffic advisories were issued to manage congestion. The damage to the guardrail necessitated immediate repairs, leading to the closure of the left lane of westbound Highway 50. Motorists were advised to seek alternate routes to avoid delays.
By 7:30 AM, the situation was being managed effectively, with the roadway being cleared and a tow truck en route to remove the disabled vehicle. However, ongoing repairs to the guardrail prompted an emergency closure request to ensure the safety of both workers and drivers.
As of now, the left lane remains closed while repairs are underway. Motorists are encouraged to stay updated on traffic conditions and plan their travels accordingly. The California Highway Patrol is actively managing the situation to restore normal traffic flow as soon as possible.
