A traffic collision on State Route 24 (SR-24) in Orinda, CA, has resulted in significant traffic delays today. The incident, which occurred near Saint Stephens Drive, involved two vehicles: a Toyota Prius with rear-end damage and a blue sedan that was overturned. The collision was reported shortly after 11:00 PM, prompting immediate lane closures on the eastbound side of the highway.
Emergency response teams quickly arrived at the scene to manage traffic and control the situation. Multiple units were deployed to assist with traffic management, as the left lanes of eastbound SR-24 were blocked due to the overturned vehicle. This obstruction led to considerable backup and congestion in the area, with a signal alert issued to inform drivers of the delays.
Tow trucks were called to the scene to remove the damaged vehicles, but as of the latest updates, the left lanes remained obstructed. Commuters traveling through this area should expect delays and consider alternate routes until the situation is resolved.
This traffic incident underscores the importance of cautious driving, especially during late-night hours when visibility may be reduced. Drivers are encouraged to stay informed about road conditions and to exercise patience while navigating through the affected area.
