A traffic collision occurred today on Interstate 80 East at Douglas Boulevard in Roseville, CA, leading to significant traffic disruptions during the morning commute. The incident involved three vehicles: a black Chevy Cobalt, a food truck, and a grey sedan.
As emergency responders arrived on the scene, traffic was heavily impacted, resulting in lane closures and substantial backups for eastbound motorists. California Highway Patrol (CHP) and Freeway Service Patrol (FSP) units were dispatched to manage the situation and control traffic flow. Traffic cones were set up to redirect vehicles away from the affected lanes.
By approximately 8:00 AM, the black Chevy Cobalt and the food truck were safely removed from the roadway and taken to a nearby Denny’s. Despite the removal of these vehicles, traffic congestion persisted as crews worked to clear the scene and restore normal traffic conditions.
The CHP issued a signal alert to inform drivers of the heavy traffic situation on Interstate 80 East, particularly near Douglas Boulevard. Motorists were advised to exercise caution and expect delays while navigating the area. As the situation improved, a police unit confirmed that all lanes were eventually reopened, although residual congestion remained as traffic began to normalize.
Drivers are encouraged to stay informed about traffic conditions and consider alternate routes to avoid delays.
