A significant traffic collision occurred today on Interstate 80 East in West Sacramento, CA, involving two vehicles: a white sedan and an unidentified vehicle linked to a hit-and-run. The incident led to a complete shutdown of the eastbound lanes, causing substantial delays for motorists. Traffic on the westbound lanes is also affected, moving slowly due to the congestion created by the collision.
Emergency response teams from the California Highway Patrol (CHP) quickly arrived at the scene to manage the situation. Officers implemented traffic control measures, utilizing cones to redirect vehicles and ensure safety. A construction sign truck was also dispatched to assist with traffic management and alert drivers to the ongoing incident.
As of now, there is no estimated time for the reopening of the eastbound lanes, leading to significant backups for drivers in the area. Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes to avoid delays during their morning commute.
The CHP is actively working to clear the scene and restore normal traffic flow as quickly as possible. Drivers are encouraged to remain vigilant and exercise caution while navigating through the affected areas.
