A traffic collision on Interstate 5 North in Sacramento, CA, has caused significant delays during the morning commute today. The incident, involving three vehicles—a gold SUV, a blue Honda Fit, and a tan Chevrolet sedan—occurred shortly after 9:50 AM. The collision blocked the #1 lane, leading to lane closures and slow-moving traffic as drivers attempted to navigate around the scene.

Emergency response teams quickly arrived to manage traffic and secure the area. Multiple units were dispatched to assist in clearing the roadway, which remained congested as vehicles were towed away. The positioning of the vehicles on a blind curve further complicated traffic flow, contributing to backups for motorists traveling northbound.

As emergency services worked to clear the scene, significant delays were reported, particularly for those on Interstate 5. Drivers were advised to seek alternative routes to avoid the affected area until the situation was fully resolved.

By mid-morning, the roadway was cleared, but residual delays may continue as traffic gradually returns to normal. Motorists are encouraged to stay updated on local traffic conditions to navigate around any ongoing disruptions.
