A traffic incident occurred today on the northbound side of State Route 99 at the Jensen Avenue off-ramp in Fresno, CA. A gray 2021 Chevrolet Silverado swerved to avoid debris on the roadway, rendering the vehicle non-drivable. Fortunately, no injuries were reported.

Emergency services responded quickly to the scene at approximately 9:29 AM. The Silverado was found facing west in the center divider with its hazard lights activated. Upon inspection, it was confirmed that there was no damage to the vehicle, but it could not be driven due to the incident.
