A traffic collision on Interstate 5 North (I-5 N) at the Sutterville Road On-ramp in Sacramento, CA, caused significant traffic disruptions during the morning commute today. The incident involved two vehicles: a Tesla Model 3 and a white truck pulling a semi-trailer. Both vehicles sustained damage, with tire issues rendering them undrivable and requiring towing.
Debris from the collision spread across multiple lanes, leading to the closure of lane two and contributing to traffic congestion in the area. Emergency services quickly arrived to manage the scene and control traffic flow, ensuring that the situation was handled efficiently.
Motorists traveling through this section of Interstate 5 experienced delays and backups due to the lane closures and debris. A tire that had fallen off one of the vehicles was located near the center divide, further complicating traffic conditions.
A tow truck was dispatched to remove the Tesla Model 3 from the scene, while the white truck and semi-trailer were also assessed for towing. Authorities worked diligently to clear the roadway and restore normal traffic patterns.
Drivers are advised to remain cautious and expect potential delays in the area as cleanup efforts continue.
