A traffic collision occurred today at the intersection of Sherwood Road and Birch Street in Willits, CA, involving a single vehicle, a Ford F150. The truck ended up off the roadway, supported by a tree and positioned about five feet from the road.
Emergency units promptly responded to the scene to manage traffic and secure the area. Due to the incident, there is a hard closure of the roadway from Birch/Sherwood to Birch/Clover, resulting in significant traffic disruptions. Motorists are likely to experience delays and congestion in the surrounding areas as they navigate detours.
A tow truck is en route to assist with the recovery of the vehicle, which is upright but requires specialized equipment to be safely removed from its precarious position.
As the evening commute approaches, drivers are advised to seek alternate routes to avoid the affected area. Authorities are on-site to ensure safety and facilitate the removal of the vehicle, and they are working to clear the roadway as quickly as possible.
Motorists are encouraged to remain cautious and attentive while traveling near the closed sections of the road. Updates will be provided as the situation develops and the roadway is cleared.
