A significant traffic collision occurred today on State Route 14 South near West Avenue B in Lancaster, CA, involving two vehicles: an overturned semi truck and a blue Subaru Outback. The incident was reported around 4:35 AM, quickly obstructing multiple lanes and causing major disruptions for morning commuters.
The semi truck, which was hauling gravel, overturned and blocked both the southbound and northbound lanes, creating a hazardous situation. Emergency response teams were dispatched to the scene to manage traffic flow and ensure safety. Lane closures were implemented, and flares were placed to divert traffic away from the affected area. As a result, traffic was redirected at Avenue H for northbound vehicles and Avenue A for southbound vehicles, leading to significant backups and delays.
A tow truck was called to assist with the removal of the overturned semi truck and the damaged Subaru Outback. The California Highway Patrol issued a sigalert, indicating that the traffic incident would impact the area for approximately two hours. Additionally, the southbound on-ramp was shut down to facilitate emergency response efforts.
