A traffic collision on State Route 44 in Shingletown, CA, has resulted in significant traffic disruptions today. The incident occurred around 5:28 PM when a single black 4-door sedan went off the roadway and ended up in a creek approximately a quarter-mile east of Lake McCumber. Emergency services responded promptly to manage the situation and control traffic flow.
Due to the vehicle being non-drivable, a tow truck was dispatched to the scene for recovery operations. The vehicle's location, about 300 feet off the roadway and surrounded by trees and gravel, complicated the recovery efforts. As a result, lane closures were implemented to ensure the safety of both emergency personnel and passing motorists.

Emergency responders are working diligently to clear the scene and restore normal traffic conditions. Drivers are advised to seek alternate routes if possible to avoid congestion caused by this traffic incident.
