A traffic collision on Interstate 5 (I-5) in Lebec, CA, caused notable traffic disruptions this morning. The incident involved a single vehicle, a Black Audi S4, which occurred around 4:06 AM. The vehicle reportedly lost control, bounced across lanes, and came to rest in the center divider.
Emergency services responded promptly to manage the situation. Officers arrived on the scene to implement lane closures and direct traffic, ensuring the safety of all motorists. Initially, all lanes were held to assess the scene, leading to delays for drivers during the early morning commute.
A tow truck was requested to remove the vehicle, and by 5:02 AM, the Audi was successfully towed away. Following this, a police unit confirmed that all lanes were reopened, allowing traffic to flow normally once again.
Motorists experienced congestion and delays during the incident, particularly as it coincided with peak travel hours. The California Highway Patrol remained on-site to oversee traffic management and ensure a safe environment for all drivers.
As always, the CHP advises motorists to stay alert and drive cautiously, especially during busy travel times.
