A traffic collision on Interstate 8 West near State Route 186 in Winterhaven, CA, has resulted in significant traffic disruptions today. The incident occurred late last night when a single vehicle, a red Cadillac CTS, rolled off the roadway into a bank area.

Witnesses reported that the Cadillac was traveling at high speeds before leaving the roadway. The vehicle ended up approximately 20 to 30 feet off the road, creating a potential hazard for other drivers. In response to the traffic incident, the CHP and additional emergency response units have been on-site to control the situation and ensure safety for all motorists.
Motorists traveling on Interstate 8 West can expect delays and possible backups as crews work to clear the scene.

A tow truck has been requested to assist with the removal of the vehicle. Further updates will be provided as the situation develops, and the CHP continues to manage the incident.
