A traffic collision on State Route 46 in Paso Robles, CA, caused significant traffic disruptions today. The incident occurred around 11:25 AM when two vehicles, a Toyota Camry and a blue Volkswagen Jetta, were involved in a crash near Jardine Road. Following the collision, both vehicles remained at the scene, leading to lane closures that affected traffic flow.

Emergency response teams were dispatched promptly to manage the scene and direct traffic. As vehicles were pulled off the roadway, motorists experienced delays and congestion in the area. The lane closures created a backup for drivers traveling along State Route 46, particularly during the busy morning commute.

Witnesses reported that the collision began as a hit-and-run incident approximately three miles away, with the involved vehicles ultimately stopping on Jardine Road just north of State Route 46. Traffic management units worked to clear the scene and restore normal traffic flow.

Motorists are advised to avoid the area if possible and seek alternative routes to minimize delays. The California Highway Patrol is actively managing the situation to ensure that traffic resumes as quickly as possible. Updates on the traffic incident will be provided as more information becomes available.
