A traffic collision involving a red semi truck and a red stand-up forklift occurred today on Interstate 80 East near the Ashby Avenue off-ramp in Emeryville, CA. The incident was reported around 11:43 AM and resulted in significant traffic disruptions in the area.

Emergency response teams quickly arrived to manage the situation, as debris from the forklift and semi truck spread across the roadway.
