A traffic collision involving two vehicles, a semi truck and a combination unit with a double tractor and horse trailer, occurred today on the southbound side of Highway 395 at mile marker 69 in Independence, CA. The incident was reported at approximately 7:55 PM and resulted in lane obstructions that significantly impacted traffic flow in the area.

Emergency traffic management units were dispatched to the scene to control the situation and minimize delays for motorists. Both vehicles remained upright, and while no towing was required immediately, a tow truck was scheduled to return the following morning to retrieve the trailer. The positioning of the vehicles caused congestion, leading to backups for drivers traveling through the area.

As crews worked to manage the traffic incident, motorists were advised to expect delays and consider alternative routes to avoid the affected section of the highway. The response teams ensured that traffic was monitored closely, facilitating safe passage for vehicles in the vicinity.
