A traffic collision involving two vehicles, a big rig and another vehicle, occurred today at the intersection of State Route 152 and Road 14 1/2 in Chowchilla, CA. The incident was reported at approximately 6:43 PM, resulting in temporary lane closures as emergency units responded to manage traffic and secure the area.

As a result of the traffic incident, motorists experienced delays and congestion in the vicinity.
