A traffic collision on the Travis onramp to westbound Interstate 80 (I-80) in Fairfield, CA, caused significant traffic disruptions today. The incident, involving one vehicle that ended up in a ditch, was reported at approximately 11:03 PM. Emergency services quickly arrived at the scene, leading to the blockage of the onramp to manage traffic flow.
Due to the collision, partial lane closures were implemented, resulting in traffic congestion and delays for motorists trying to access westbound I-80. The Fairfield Fire Department requested the California Highway Patrol to assist in blocking the onramp to prevent further incidents and to facilitate the towing of the vehicle, which was completed shortly after 11:06 PM.
By 12:13 AM, the onramp was reported to be reopened, allowing traffic to resume its normal flow. However, the initial response and lane closures caused a backup that affected drivers during the late-night hours.
Motorists are advised to remain cautious in the area as emergency services worked diligently to clear the scene and restore traffic conditions. The prompt response from local authorities helped mitigate the impact of the traffic incident, ensuring that the roadway was safe for all travelers.
