A traffic collision on State Route 14 North in Acton, CA, caused significant traffic disruptions today during the late afternoon. The incident occurred around 4:41 PM and involved two vehicles: a red Ford pickup truck and a black truck. Both vehicles were blocking the middle lanes, leading to heavy congestion for drivers in the area.
Emergency response units arrived promptly to manage the scene and facilitate the clearing of the roadway. By approximately 5:35 PM, all vehicles involved in the traffic incident had been moved to the right shoulder, but the blockage had already resulted in considerable delays and backups for motorists.
The black truck sustained notable front-end damage, and a tow truck was dispatched to assist with its removal. Traffic remained slow-moving as crews worked to restore normal flow. Reports indicated that the situation was further complicated by the presence of dogs running in the middle lanes, which may have contributed to the traffic incident.
As of 6:08 PM, traffic conditions were still heavy, and drivers were advised to consider alternate routes to avoid delays. This traffic collision highlights the importance of maintaining awareness while driving, especially during peak travel times.
