A significant traffic collision involving two heavy vehicles occurred today on Interstate 15 South in Newberry Springs, CA. The incident took place around 7:17 AM during the morning commute when a semi-truck struck a guardrail, resulting in debris across both lanes of the highway.
Emergency units quickly arrived at the scene to secure the area and manage traffic flow. A salvage recovery unit was also dispatched to assist with the heavy vehicle involved in the collision. Due to the debris and the presence of recovery operations, a hard lane closure was implemented on the southbound curve of the highway, leading to noticeable delays and congestion for drivers.
As traffic began to back up, some vehicles were able to navigate around the scene using the right shoulder. Authorities indicated that everything in the closed lane should be accessible from the northbound side of the highway.
Motorists are advised to expect delays and consider alternate routes to avoid congestion. The situation is still developing, and updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
Drivers are encouraged to remain vigilant and stay informed about traffic conditions in the area.
