A traffic collision on U.S. Highway 50 in Twin Bridges, CA, has caused significant traffic delays today. The incident occurred around 12:48 AM when a single vehicle, a white 2024 GMC Hummer EV, slid off the roadway and became stuck in a four-foot snow embankment. The vehicle remains at the scene as recovery efforts are underway.

Due to this traffic incident, multiple lane closures have been implemented, leading to congestion and backups for motorists traveling in the area. Traffic management personnel are actively directing operations to ensure safety and facilitate the recovery process.

Compounding the situation, U.S. Highway 50 is currently closed at Echo Summit for avalanche control, which has further complicated traffic flow. This closure has limited the ability of some emergency response units to reach the scene, resulting in additional delays for drivers.

Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes and remain cautious while navigating the area. The recovery of the vehicle is expected to take some time, and ongoing traffic management efforts will continue until the situation is resolved. Updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
