A traffic collision occurred tonight at the intersection of State Route 32 and Muir Avenue in Chico, CA, involving two vehicles—a white Kia and a Ford Fusion. The incident took place around 10:20 PM in dense fog conditions, which likely contributed to the crash. Emergency services responded promptly to the scene, where one individual in the Kia was reported to possibly have sustained unknown injuries.
Both vehicles were quickly moved off the roadway to ensure safety and minimize traffic disruption. The collision initially caused a temporary closure of the area, halting traffic as emergency responders assessed the situation. By approximately 10:29 PM, the roadway was being prepared to reopen, with both vehicles cleared from the scene.
The California Highway Patrol and local fire department were on-site to manage the incident and ensure the safety of all involved. A tow truck was called to assist with the removal of the Ford Fusion, allowing for the gradual resumption of traffic flow in the area.
Motorists are advised to exercise caution when driving in foggy conditions and to remain aware of potential hazards on the road. The CHP encourages all drivers to stay alert and drive safely, especially during adverse weather conditions.
