A traffic collision on Purisima Road at State Route 246 in Lompoc, CA, has caused significant disruptions during the morning commute today. The incident involved three vehicles: a solo vehicle, a white semi truck, and a 3-D3 front-bed truck. The white semi truck is currently off the roadway, while the 3-D3 truck remains on its wheels but is not drivable, positioned approximately 150 feet off the road.

Debris and obstacles from the collision have affected both lanes of traffic, leading to lane closures as California Highway Patrol (CHP) units manage the scene. Motorists are advised to expect delays and possible backups in the area as crews work to clear the roadway and ensure safety. The presence of strawberries scattered across both lanes has further complicated the situation, prompting additional traffic control measures.

As emergency response teams focus on managing the traffic incident, drivers are encouraged to seek alternate routes to avoid congestion. A tow truck has been requested for the 3-D3 front-bed truck to facilitate the clearing of the scene.

This traffic collision underscores the importance of remaining vigilant on the roads, especially during busy travel times. Stay tuned for further updates on the situation as it develops.
