A traffic collision involving three vehicles occurred today on State Route 99 South near the Broadway On-Ramp in Sacramento, CA, during the morning commute. The incident involved a red Tesla Model 3 and a black Ford SUV, among other vehicles. As a result of the collision, several lanes were blocked, specifically lanes one through four and a section of lane 1125, leading to significant traffic restrictions in the area.
Emergency services responded quickly, with multiple units arriving on the scene to manage the traffic incident and control the flow of vehicles. The presence of emergency responders helped to mitigate the impact of the collision, but drivers experienced delays and congestion as they navigated around the blocked lanes.
Tow trucks were called to assist with the removal of the vehicles, which were reported as not drivable. By approximately 7:40 AM, all lanes were reopened, allowing traffic to resume its normal flow. However, the initial backup caused by the collision may have lingered for some time as commuters adjusted to the cleared roadway.
Motorists are advised to remain cautious and aware of their surroundings while driving in the area, especially during peak traffic hours. This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of safe driving practices to prevent future traffic collisions.
