A traffic collision involving two vehicles, a Nissan Rogue and a grey Big Rig, occurred today on Interstate 5 South near the Westley Rest Area in Manteca, CA. The incident was reported around 1:02 PM, with both vehicles coming to a stop on the right-hand side of the highway and in the center divider.
Emergency services arrived quickly to manage the scene and control traffic flow. The Big Rig activated its hazard lights to alert approaching drivers. Although one vehicle did not require towing after a cancelled request, the presence of both vehicles contributed to traffic delays and congestion in the area.
By 2:04 PM, emergency personnel had effectively coordinated the situation, allowing traffic to resume more smoothly. However, motorists may still experience residual backup due to the earlier incident.
This traffic collision highlights the importance of remaining vigilant while driving, especially in areas where emergency responses are taking place. Travelers on Interstate 5 South are advised to stay aware of changing traffic conditions and to follow any posted detours or instructions from law enforcement.
