A traffic collision on Interstate 15 South in Baker, CA, caused significant disruptions to traffic flow today. The incident occurred around 10:47 AM near mile marker 121, involving one vehicle, a black two-door Honda, which was declared totaled at the scene. Witnesses reported that the vehicle was traveling at high speeds before veering off the road and crashing into the dirt shoulder.

Emergency response units were quickly dispatched to manage the situation and control traffic. The southbound lane experienced lane closures, leading to delays for motorists during the busy morning commute. Traffic was particularly congested as vehicles were diverted to the remaining open lanes.

A tow truck was called to the scene to assist with the removal of the damaged vehicle. By approximately 11:41 AM, the vehicle had been moved to the shoulder, allowing for the gradual reopening of the lane. However, drivers should remain cautious as residual delays may continue due to the earlier traffic incident.
