A traffic collision on State Route 4 West in Antioch, CA, has caused significant traffic disruptions today. The incident, involving two vehicles—a white Toyota Prius and a silver Chevrolet Cruze—occurred around 9:40 PM. Both vehicles came to a stop on the right-hand shoulder of the highway.
In response to the collision, multiple emergency response units were dispatched to the scene to manage the situation. Traffic management measures were implemented, resulting in lane closures on westbound State Route 4 at Somersville Road. These closures have led to delays and congestion for drivers in the area, particularly during the evening rush hour.
The Chevrolet Cruze sustained moderate front-end damage, making it undrivable and requiring a tow. A tow truck was called to assist with the removal of both vehicles involved in the traffic incident. The Toyota Prius was also towed from the scene.
Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes to avoid potential backups and delays as emergency crews work to clear the roadway. The California Highway Patrol is actively managing the scene to restore normal traffic flow as quickly as possible. Drivers should remain cautious and expect continued traffic impacts in the area until the situation is fully resolved.
