A significant traffic collision occurred this morning on State Route 138 in Llano, CA, involving four vehicles, including a red semi truck with a white trailer, a four-door sedan, a mid-size dark gray SUV, and a tractor with a 32-foot trailer that had lost two wheels. The incident was reported around 5:05 AM and quickly led to multiple lanes being blocked, causing substantial traffic disruptions during the morning commute.
Emergency services arrived promptly to manage the scene and control traffic flow. As responders worked to clear the area, motorists experienced delays and backups, with congestion reported in both directions on the highway. The blocked lanes made it challenging for vehicles to navigate, prompting some drivers to seek alternative routes.
A tow truck was requested to assist with the removal of the involved vehicles, particularly the tractor, which posed additional challenges due to its damaged condition. By 6:31 AM, emergency personnel were actively engaged in clearing the roadway to restore normal traffic conditions.
Motorists are advised to remain cautious and be aware of ongoing cleanup efforts on State Route 138. This traffic incident highlights the importance of safe driving and attentiveness to changing road conditions.
