A traffic collision on State Route 24 West in Oakland, CA, has led to significant traffic disruptions this afternoon. The incident occurred around 4:16 PM and involved two vehicles: a white van connected to a trailer and a box trailer carrying another vehicle. The collision resulted in the blockage of one lane, forcing drivers to maneuver around the obstruction.
Emergency response units arrived promptly to manage traffic and ensure safety at the scene. Although the vehicles remained on-site without an immediate tow, a tow truck was later requested for the box trailer, indicating the need for further assistance.
