A minor injury traffic collision occurred today at the intersection of Ophir Road and Lincoln Boulevard in Oroville, California. The incident took place around 11:22 AM, involving two vehicles: a black Ford SUV and a gray SUV. One individual reported an injury, but the extent of the injuries remains unknown.
Emergency services responded promptly to the scene. The collision was attributed to a malfunctioning traffic light, which caused one vehicle to run through a stop sign, resulting in a T-bone collision with the other vehicle.
By 11:36 AM, emergency crews had cleared the roadway, allowing traffic to resume normal flow. The incident temporarily disrupted traffic in the area as responders worked to ensure safety for everyone involved.
While it is likely that both vehicles were towed from the scene, specific details regarding their drivable status were not provided. Additionally, Pacific Gas and Electric confirmed that there were no ongoing power outages in the vicinity, which may have contributed to the traffic signal failure.
Motorists are advised to exercise caution when approaching the intersection of Ophir Road and Lincoln Boulevard, especially during times of adverse weather or traffic signal issues.
