A traffic collision on State Route 76 at Pala Del Norte Road in Pala, CA, has caused significant disruptions to traffic flow today. The incident involved three vehicles: a dark-colored Kia Sorento that ended up in a ditch with a jammed door, a white BMW that sustained damage to its underside, and a third vehicle with limited details available.
The collision occurred during the evening hours, prompting a swift response from emergency units. A tow truck was dispatched to assist with the recovery of the vehicles; however, it became stuck on the right-hand side of the roadway, leading to lane closures in the westbound direction of State Route 76.
As a result of the lane closures, drivers experienced delays and congestion in the area. Traffic control measures were implemented by the California Highway Patrol to manage the flow of vehicles and ensure safety for all motorists.
Additionally, rocks falling from the mountains posed further hazards, complicating the situation for drivers. Motorists are advised to seek alternative routes to avoid potential backups associated with this traffic incident.
The California Highway Patrol continues to manage the scene, working diligently to clear the roadway and restore normal traffic conditions.
