A traffic collision occurred today on Interstate 80 East near Leisure Town Road in Vacaville, CA, causing significant disruptions during the morning commute. The incident involved three vehicles: a black small SUV, a semi-truck, and a big rig.
Initially, multiple lanes were closed, leading to traffic being diverted off the highway. Emergency response units quickly arrived on the scene to manage traffic and ensure safety. As the situation progressed, lanes one through three remained blocked for an extended period, while lane four was eventually opened to help alleviate congestion.
The big rig's tractor was towed from the scene, and the other vehicles were handled through evidence tows and escorted to scales. The California Highway Patrol issued a Sig Alert, warning drivers of expected delays and backups in the area.
By 7:08 AM, a police unit confirmed that all lanes were open, allowing traffic to resume its normal flow. However, earlier closures had already caused significant congestion, impacting many commuters throughout the morning.
Motorists are advised to remain cautious and aware of potential residual delays as traffic returns to normal. This traffic collision highlights the importance of safe driving practices, especially during busy travel times.
