A traffic collision involving three vehicles occurred today on State Route 49 in Calpine, CA, leading to significant roadway obstruction. The incident involved a U-Haul vehicle with an attached trailer, a white truck paired with a gray trailer, and a gray BMW. The collision took place during adverse weather conditions, resulting in vehicles becoming stuck in snow.
Emergency responders arrived on the scene to manage traffic and ensure safety. One vehicle required towing due to being blocked by snow, while the other vehicles were able to pass after snow was cleared from the roadside. Traffic management efforts included lane closures and directional control to facilitate the flow of vehicles around the incident.
Motorists experienced delays and congestion as they navigated the area, with some vehicles temporarily pulled over due to the roadway closure. As snow was cleared, three vehicles were eventually able to resume their journeys, alleviating some of the traffic backup.
