A traffic collision on U.S. Highway 101 at Camp Roberts Main Gate in San Miguel, CA, caused significant traffic disruptions today. The incident involved one vehicle, a bronze/dark truck, which veered off the road and collided with an embankment. Emergency response units quickly arrived at the scene to manage traffic and control the situation.
Due to the collision, the southbound off-ramp from U.S. Highway 101 was blocked while towing operations were underway for the vehicle. This led to delays and congestion, particularly affecting the afternoon traffic flow. Emergency crews worked diligently to clear the scene and restore normal traffic conditions.
The truck was positioned approximately 40 feet up the embankment, complicating the recovery efforts. The off-ramp remained closed until the vehicle could be safely removed, resulting in backups on the highway. Motorists were advised to seek alternative routes to avoid delays caused by this traffic incident.
Authorities are actively managing the situation to minimize the impact on the afternoon commute. Drivers are encouraged to remain cautious and stay informed about ongoing traffic conditions in San Miguel, CA.
