A traffic collision occurred today at the intersection of State Route 89 and State Route 44 in Shingletown, CA, during heavy snowfall that has affected road conditions. The incident involved two vehicles: a black BMW and another vehicle that went off the roadway and came to rest against a tree.
Due to the challenging weather, the California Highway Patrol (CHP) is managing the scene to ensure safety and facilitate traffic flow. The collision has resulted in lane closures, leading to potential delays for motorists in the area. A tow truck has been requested for the off-road vehicle, while California Tow is on the way to recover the black BMW.
Drivers are advised to exercise caution when traveling through this region, as the snowfall has created slippery conditions that may contribute to further traffic incidents. The CHP has reported that there are 2 to 3 inches of snow on the ground, which could impact visibility and road traction.
As the situation unfolds, the CHP will continue to monitor traffic patterns and provide updates regarding any changes in road conditions. Motorists are encouraged to stay informed and adjust their travel plans accordingly to avoid congestion.
