A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred today at approximately 6:45 AM on Interstate 5 North near the John Erreca Rest Area in Hamburg Farms, CA. The incident involved a white Toyota Cam that rear-ended a semi truck with a box trailer. Both vehicles remained at the scene as emergency services responded to manage the situation.
Traffic management measures were quickly implemented, resulting in lane adjustments in the area. As a consequence, drivers may experience delays and congestion during the morning commute. The semi truck continued northbound, while the Toyota Cam was positioned on the right-hand shoulder of the highway.
A tow truck was requested to assist with the removal of the vehicles, but there was a delay in service due to the involved party declining the initial towing cost. By 8:11 AM, the tow truck was no longer required, indicating that the vehicles were still being assessed for their drivable status.
Motorists in the vicinity are advised to exercise caution and expect potential backups as emergency response teams work to clear the scene.
