A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred today on State Route 113 near Hay Road in Dixon, CA, leading to significant traffic disruptions. The incident involved a Dodge and a Saturn, resulting in both directions of the highway being closed for several hours.
Emergency response teams, including traffic management units, were dispatched to the scene to secure the area and manage traffic flow. Motorists faced delays and congestion as they were diverted to alternate routes, impacting the evening commute for many drivers returning home.
Towing operations were initiated, with one vehicle requiring a flatbed tow due to damage, including a missing tire. The other vehicle was managed on-site. The closure of State Route 113 created a backup, particularly during peak travel times, as authorities worked diligently to clear the roadway.
By late evening, the highway was reopened in both directions, allowing traffic to resume. Motorists are encouraged to remain vigilant and stay informed about road conditions as the aftermath of the traffic incident may still affect travel times in the area. The California Highway Patrol continues to monitor the situation to ensure safe passage for all drivers.
