A traffic collision involving two SUVs occurred today on State Route 51 South near the Exposition Boulevard off-ramp in Sacramento, CA. The incident was reported at approximately 7:54 PM and resulted in significant traffic disruptions.
Emergency response teams arrived on the scene to manage the situation, finding both vehicles located in the carpool lane under the overpass. This blockage led to the closure of one lane, causing delays and congestion for drivers in the area. Traffic was impacted during the evening rush hour, prompting officers to direct vehicles and facilitate a smoother flow around the incident.
A tow truck was called to assist with the removal of the vehicles involved in the crash. As crews worked to clear the scene, motorists were advised to expect backups and consider alternative routes, especially from the southbound El Camino area.
The response included multiple units coordinating efforts to ensure safety and manage traffic flow effectively. While the exact details of the vehicle disposition remain unclear, the lane closure and presence of emergency personnel contributed to significant traffic impact in the vicinity.
Motorists are encouraged to remain cautious and aware of changing road conditions as cleanup efforts continue. Further updates on the traffic situation will be provided as crews work to restore normal traffic flow.
