A traffic collision on State Route 14 North in Palmdale, CA, caused significant disruptions to traffic flow today. The incident, which involved three vehicles—a black four-door sedan, a black Volkswagen Rabbit, and a grey Hyundai Tucson—occurred near Mountain Springs Road around 4:39 PM. The grey Hyundai Tucson was reported as non-moveable, blocking the High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane, which contributed to traffic congestion in the area.
California Highway Patrol (CHP) units were dispatched to the scene and worked to manage traffic and clear the roadway. The collision resulted in lane closures, leading to delays for motorists traveling northbound. Traffic backups were reported as vehicles were diverted around the incident site.
By 5:10 PM, CHP units were actively clearing the roadway, but the impact on afternoon traffic remained noticeable. Additional challenges arose due to a tire blocking the middle lanes, which required further attention from emergency responders.
Motorists are advised to exercise caution while traveling in the area and to expect potential delays as the aftermath of this traffic incident continues to affect traffic patterns along State Route 14. The CHP is working to restore normal traffic flow as quickly as possible.
