A traffic collision involving two grey sedans occurred today on State Route 99 South near the Mitchell Road off-ramp in Ceres, CA. The incident was reported at approximately 1:08 PM, leading to significant lane restrictions. Lanes one and three were closed, allowing only lane two to remain open for through traffic, which likely caused delays and congestion for drivers in the area.
Emergency service units arrived promptly to manage the scene and control traffic flow. One of the vehicles, a grey Toyota sedan, required towing, while the other, a grey Honda sedan, remained at the site. Damage to sections of nearby guardrails was also reported, with one section measuring approximately 60 feet long and another 30 feet located around 100 yards past the Mitchell overpass.
As traffic continued to flow through lane two, motorists were advised to exercise caution and anticipate potential backups as crews worked to clear the scene. By 1:49 PM, lane one was reopened, although lane three remained closed for further assessment and cleanup.
Drivers traveling through this area should remain vigilant and consider alternative routes to avoid delays caused by this traffic incident.
