Multiple traffic collisions on State Route 152 in Hollister, CA, have caused significant lane closures this morning. The first incident occurred around 5:36 AM, leading to the closure of the eastbound lane for emergency response. Shortly thereafter, the westbound lane was reported open, providing some relief to drivers.
However, the situation worsened when a second collision took place at approximately 5:48 AM, just west of Lovers Lane. This prompted further lane closures, with the westbound lane being closed at the State Route 156 split and the eastbound lane closed at Bloomfield. By 7:07 AM, the westbound lane was closed again at San Felipe, while the eastbound lane had temporarily reopened.
As recovery efforts continued, the eastbound lane was shut down once more around 7:40 AM for vehicle recovery, with an estimated reopening time of 15 minutes. Fortunately, by 7:57 AM, the eastbound lane was reopened, allowing traffic to resume.
Motorists are advised to exercise caution in the area as recovery efforts continue and traffic patterns may still be affected. The status of any injuries related to these incidents remains unknown. Travelers are encouraged to consider alternate routes to avoid delays and stay informed about traffic conditions.
