A traffic incident occurred today at Moskowitz Corners in Napa, California, when a gray Toyota Camry slid off the road due to icy conditions, blocking the westbound lane. The California Highway Patrol and Cal Fire responded to the scene shortly after the incident was reported at approximately 8:40 AM. Fortunately, there were no injuries reported.
Emergency responders assessed the situation and confirmed that the vehicle was driveable. However, for safety reasons, a tow truck was requested to remove the car from the roadway. The tow truck arrived shortly after 9:00 AM and assisted in clearing the vehicle, allowing traffic to resume safely.
In addition to the vehicle incident, Cal Fire also requested assistance from Caltrans due to concerns about hillside erosion in the area. The embankment was reported to be washing away, prompting further attention from transportation officials to ensure the safety of the roadway.
Motorists in the area experienced temporary delays as emergency services worked to clear the scene and address the hillside concerns. Authorities urge drivers to exercise caution while navigating icy conditions, especially in areas prone to such weather-related incidents.
As the situation was resolved, traffic flow was restored, and the roadway was cleared for safe travel. Motorists are reminded to remain vigilant and adjust their driving habits according to weather conditions.
