A significant traffic collision occurred today on State Route 118 West at the Kuehner Drive off-ramp in Simi Valley, CA, involving four vehicles, including a dump truck that overturned after losing a tire. The incident took place during the evening rush hour, leading to lane closures and considerable traffic disruptions in the area.
