A traffic collision on Interstate 5 (I-5) in Castaic, CA, caused significant traffic disruptions today. The incident occurred around 1:06 PM when a black Ford F150 pickup truck went down an embankment. This was the only vehicle involved in the traffic incident.

Emergency services, including the California Highway Patrol, responded quickly to the scene. To manage the situation effectively, they closed the northbound lanes of I-5, specifically lanes 3 and 4, to secure the area and facilitate vehicle recovery. A tow truck was requested to assist in removing the truck from the embankment.

As a result of the lane closures, drivers experienced delays and congestion on the northbound side of I-5, particularly during the busy afternoon commute. A SigAlert was issued, indicating that the closures would remain in effect for approximately one hour while the scene was cleared.

By 2:37 PM, the situation improved as lanes 3 and 4 were reopened, and the SigAlert was canceled. Traffic began to return to normal, alleviating the backup that had formed earlier in the afternoon. Motorists are advised to remain cautious and attentive while traveling in the area as cleanup efforts concluded.
