A significant traffic collision occurred today on Eastbound State Route 4 (SR-4) at the transition to Northbound State Route 160 (SR-160) in Antioch, CA. The incident involved three vehicles: a black sedan, a silver SUV, and an unknown vehicle. Both lanes were completely blocked, leading to a hard closure on the ramp from Eastbound SR-4 to Northbound SR-160.
Emergency services quickly arrived at the scene, focusing on traffic management and scene control to minimize disruption. As a result of the collision, traffic was diverted, causing considerable delays and congestion for motorists in the area. The closure is expected to remain in place for several hours, impacting evening commutes.
The California Highway Patrol is actively managing the situation, working to restore traffic flow as soon as possible. The Department of Transportation has indicated that the ramp will be closed until approximately 4:00 AM, and drivers are advised to seek alternate routes to avoid the affected area.
Motorists should stay informed about traffic conditions and plan ahead to navigate around the delays. The incident has created significant backups, particularly for those traveling during peak hours.
