A gray Amazon delivery truck became stuck while attempting to reverse from a driveway on Westbound Porter Creek Road in Calistoga, CA, today, resulting in a significant traffic disruption. The incident occurred around 1:09 PM, blocking both lanes of traffic and forcing drivers to navigate around the obstruction.
Emergency services responded to the scene to assist, but the truck remained stuck until their arrival. Witnesses reported that the truck had bottomed out, with its front end obstructing the westbound lanes while the rear blocked access to a nearby residence's driveway.
As the situation developed, some motorists had to enter the opposing lane to avoid the stuck truck, creating a potentially hazardous scenario. The Amazon truck was located near the Mark West Springs area, close to the Mark West Quarry, which further complicated traffic flow in the vicinity.
Fortunately, there were no reported injuries related to this incident. The prompt response from emergency services helped clear the obstruction and restore normal traffic conditions.
Motorists in the area are advised to remain cautious and aware of their surroundings, especially when navigating narrow roads where delivery vehicles may be present. This incident highlights the challenges that can arise on busy roadways and the importance of safe driving practices.
