A traffic collision on State Route 140 in Catheys Valley, CA, has resulted in significant traffic disruptions today. The incident occurred around 7:30 AM during the morning commute when a white recreational vehicle collided with a bridge. Two additional vehicles were confirmed at the scene: a 20-foot recreational vehicle with a bow axle and a Ford Flex that sustained front-end damage.
Due to the collision, both northbound lanes of State Route 140 were blocked, leading to traffic backups and delays in the area. Emergency units were dispatched quickly to manage the situation and direct traffic. By 7:35 AM, officials confirmed that both northbound lanes were obstructed, prompting immediate action to clear the roadway.
Tow trucks were called to assist with the removal of the vehicles involved. The first tow truck arrived at 7:44 AM to handle the 20-foot recreational vehicle, followed by a second tow truck for the Ford Flex. By 8:27 AM, all vehicles had been moved to the shoulder, allowing for the gradual reopening of the lanes.
Motorists are advised to expect delays and consider alternate routes while crews work to clear the scene. The California Highway Patrol is actively managing traffic flow in the area to minimize further disruptions.
