A traffic collision involving one overturned vehicle occurred today on State Route 74 East near Bighorn Overlook, specifically between mile markers 82 and 83, in Mountain Center, CA. The incident was reported at approximately 6:28 AM, leading to the blockage of the eastbound lanes and causing significant traffic delays.
Emergency services arrived on the scene shortly after the collision to manage traffic and ensure safety. The California Department of Forestry (CDF) was involved in coordinating lane management and scene control. A tow truck was requested to assist with the overturned vehicle, and by 7:36 AM, arrangements were made for Caltrans to address the situation further.
Motorists faced congestion and delays during the busy morning commute as the eastbound lanes remained closed. Traffic management efforts were implemented to minimize the impact on drivers, and updates were provided to keep the public informed about road conditions.
As of now, the situation is being monitored, and drivers are encouraged to seek alternate routes to avoid potential backups. Further updates will be shared as the scene is cleared and the eastbound lanes on State Route 74 are reopened.
