A traffic collision involving four vehicles occurred today on Interstate 5 (I-5) near Fall River Mills, CA, leading to significant traffic disruptions during the morning commute. The incident, which took place around 8:13 AM, involved a solo vehicle, a Snyder semi, a Brown semi, and another vehicle identified as NEG 1125.
The collision resulted in lane closures along the highway, causing delays and congestion for drivers in the area. Emergency services, including the California Highway Patrol (CHP) and tow units, promptly arrived on the scene to manage the situation and facilitate the towing of at least one vehicle that had gone off the roadway and was located on a steep embankment.
As the morning progressed, tow trucks were requested to assist in clearing the vehicles involved in the collision. The CHP indicated that the recovery of the vehicles would require multiple tow trucks due to the size and weight of the big rigs involved.
Motorists are advised to expect delays and consider alternate routes while the scene is being cleared. The CHP is actively working to restore normal traffic flow as quickly as possible. Drivers are encouraged to stay updated on traffic conditions and exercise caution while navigating the affected area.
