A traffic collision involving two vehicles, a tanker truck and an older white Navigator, occurred today on Bogue Road in Sutter, CA, resulting in significant traffic disruptions. The incident took place around 4:20 PM when the tanker truck was turning into a field, leading to a collision with the Navigator. The tanker truck sustained damage and was rendered undrivable, requiring a tow from the scene.
Emergency services, including the California Highway Patrol and local agencies, quickly responded to manage the situation. They implemented traffic control measures, resulting in lane closures on Bogue Road at the intersections of North Township and Schlag. These closures were necessary due to fluid loss from the tanker’s fuel tank, with a notable spill affecting the nearby drainage ditch.
Motorists in the area should anticipate delays and potential backups as crews work to clear the scene and address the fluid spill. Traffic congestion is expected to continue until the roadway is fully reopened. Drivers are encouraged to seek alternative routes to avoid the affected area and reduce travel delays during this afternoon traffic incident.
