A traffic collision on State Route 160 in Rio Vista, CA, caused significant disruptions to traffic flow today. The incident occurred around 9:19 PM when a dark-colored Honda collided with a large cow near the bridge, resulting in the vehicle ending up in a ditch. Reports indicate that multiple vehicles were also involved in the collision.
The California Highway Patrol (CHP) quickly responded to the scene to manage traffic and ensure safety. Officers took control of the situation, directing vehicles away from the affected area to minimize congestion. Loose cows near the roadway, which had been reported earlier in the day, complicated the incident, prompting the CHP to coordinate with the rancher responsible for the animals.
Motorists traveling on State Route 160 should expect delays and possible backups as the CHP works to clear the scene. Drivers are advised to exercise caution and consider alternative routes until the situation is resolved. The CHP is actively managing the traffic incident to restore normal traffic flow as soon as possible.
This traffic collision serves as a reminder for drivers to remain vigilant, especially in areas where livestock may be present. Updates will be provided as the situation develops, and the roadway is cleared.
