A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred today on U.S. Highway 101 in Leggett, CA. The incident took place around 11:40 AM and involved a semi truck and another vehicle. The semi truck, which was a heavy-duty vehicle with an enclosed box trailer, was removed from the roadway, while the other vehicle was recovered and positioned on the shoulder.
During the recovery operations, one lane was closed, and one-way traffic control was implemented to manage the flow of vehicles safely. This led to temporary delays and backups for motorists during the busy morning commute. Emergency services responded quickly to secure the area and ensure safe traffic management.
By approximately 1:30 PM, the semi truck had been successfully cleared from the roadway, and both lanes were reopened to traffic. Emergency responders maintained control of the scene throughout the incident, facilitating the safe clearance of the roadway and minimizing congestion.
Motorists traveling on U.S. Highway 101 are advised to remain vigilant and aware of their surroundings, especially during peak hours when traffic incidents can lead to unexpected delays. The situation has since returned to normal, allowing for smoother traffic flow.
