A traffic collision involving two vehicles, a grey big rig and a solo vehicle, occurred today at Conway Summit on US Highway 395 in Bridgeport, CA. The incident was reported around 7:55 PM and was attributed to icy road conditions that caused the big rig to lose control. As a result, both southbound lanes of US Highway 395 were completely blocked, leading to significant traffic delays.
Emergency response teams were quickly dispatched to the scene to manage the situation and control traffic flow. A tow truck was called to assist with the removal of the vehicles involved. One vehicle was successfully moved to Vista Point, while the other remained at the scene for further assessment.
Due to the icy conditions, additional emergency units were requested to help with traffic control and ensure the safety of motorists. The complete closure of the southbound lanes resulted in backups and congestion for drivers in the area.
Authorities worked diligently to clear the scene and restore normal traffic conditions. Motorists are advised to exercise caution when traveling in the area, particularly during adverse weather conditions. For those planning to travel on US Highway 395, it is recommended to seek alternate routes until the situation is fully resolved.
