A significant traffic collision involving three vehicles occurred today at the intersection of State Route 49 and Golden Center Freeway South in Grass Valley, CA. The incident took place around 3:15 PM, involving a green SUV, a white sedan, and a blue Bronco. The green SUV veered off the roadway into a ditch and collided with a tree, resulting in substantial damage to the vehicles and surrounding infrastructure, including guard rails and wooden posts.
