A traffic incident occurred today on Interstate 5 North at the J Street off-ramp in Sacramento, CA, involving four vehicles. The vehicles included a black sedan, a silver SUV, a blue Scion, and one additional vehicle that was not specifically identified. The blue Scion was deemed not drivable and required towing from the scene.

The collision resulted in lane closures on multiple lanes, significantly impacting traffic flow in the area. Emergency response teams were dispatched promptly to manage the situation and control traffic. Multiple units were present to ensure safety and facilitate the clearing of the roadway.

As responders arrived, they found the black sedan positioned sideways across lanes one and two, which further complicated traffic conditions. The scene was congested, with vehicles obstructing lanes and requiring immediate attention from emergency personnel.

Authorities worked diligently to remove the wreckage and restore normal traffic patterns. A tow truck was called to assist with the removal of the blue Scion, while other vehicles involved were assessed for damage.

Drivers in the vicinity were advised to seek alternate routes to avoid delays caused by the ongoing cleanup efforts. This incident highlights the importance of safe driving practices and the potential for unexpected traffic incidents on busy highways.
