A traffic collision on State Route 116 in Monte Rio, CA, has led to significant traffic disruptions today. The incident, which occurred at approximately 10:41 PM, involved a grey Toyota Tundra that collided with a large tree, resulting in the tree blocking both eastbound and westbound lanes of the highway.
