A traffic collision occurred this morning on Interstate 5 South in Lebec, CA, involving three vehicles, including a black Ford Ranger pickup truck and a Honda CRV. The incident obstructed three lanes, leading to significant traffic congestion during the morning commute.
Emergency response teams quickly arrived at the scene to manage traffic and ensure safety. Multiple units were deployed to control the situation and facilitate the flow of vehicles. Some vehicles required towing based on later requests, which contributed to lane closures and delays for drivers in the area.
As the situation unfolded, it was confirmed that one vehicle was facing sideways across the lanes, further complicating traffic conditions. The presence of heavy snow in the region, although not sticking, may have impacted driving conditions at the time of the collision.
Motorists traveling on Interstate 5 South should anticipate delays and consider alternative routes if possible. Authorities are actively working to clear the scene and restore normal traffic flow. Drivers are advised to exercise caution and remain alert as they navigate through the affected area.
