A traffic collision occurred today at the intersection of U.S. Highway 50 and Pioneer Trail in South Lake Tahoe, CA, involving two vehicles: a black Chevrolet Tahoe and a yellow bulldozer. The incident was reported at approximately 4:28 PM and resulted in unknown injuries.
Emergency services quickly responded to the scene to manage traffic and assist those involved. Initial assessments indicated no injuries, but this was later updated to reflect unknown injuries. The front of the Chevrolet Tahoe collided with the bulldozer, and at least one juvenile passenger was present in the Tahoe.
Traffic was significantly impacted, with the intersection blocked. While vehicles could still pass on U.S. Highway 50, Pioneer Trail was obstructed, causing delays for drivers in the area. A tow truck was called to remove at least one of the vehicles involved in the collision.
