A traffic collision on State Route 1 South in Neponset, CA, caused significant disruptions to traffic flow today. The incident, involving two vehicles—a black Chrysler and a Mazda—occurred around 12:30 AM. The collision resulted in extensive damage to both vehicles, with debris scattered across the roadway, leading to a temporary blockage of all lanes.
Emergency response units from the California Highway Patrol (CHP) quickly arrived at the scene to manage traffic and ensure safety. They coordinated with tow services to remove the damaged vehicles, which were obstructing the roadway. The Mazda was being towed from the northbound side, while the Chrysler was found with deployed airbags and cracked windows.
Due to the debris and the presence of the vehicles on the side of the road, motorists experienced delays and congestion in the area. All lanes were temporarily closed as crews worked to clear the scene and restore normal traffic conditions. The CHP effectively managed the situation, redirecting traffic while the vehicles were removed.
As the morning commute began, drivers were advised to seek alternate routes to avoid potential backups. The situation was resolved by approximately 2:47 AM, allowing traffic to resume its normal flow on State Route 1 South.
