A significant traffic collision occurred today on Interstate 5 South (I-5 S) just south of Frazier Mountain Park Road in Lebec, CA, leading to substantial traffic disruptions. The incident involved five vehicles, including a dark gray Ford F150, a white Ford pickup, a gray semi-truck, a green Ford F150, and a white Chevrolet.
The collision was reported around 3:10 PM, resulting in the blockage of lanes three and four. This caused considerable traffic backup in all four lanes, affecting afternoon commuters and creating delays for drivers in the area.
Multiple units from the California Highway Patrol (CHP) responded promptly to the scene to manage traffic flow and secure the area. A tow truck was requested to assist with the removal of one undriveable vehicle, which contributed to the lane closures.
As emergency responders worked to clear the scene, traffic congestion extended for several miles along Interstate 5 South. Motorists were advised to seek alternate routes to avoid delays as cleanup efforts continued.
The CHP remained on-site to monitor the situation and ensure safe passage for vehicles once the area was cleared. Drivers are encouraged to stay updated on traffic conditions as the situation develops.
