A traffic collision on State Route 118 West in Simi Valley, CA, caused significant disruptions during the morning commute today. The incident involved one vehicle, a gray Mazda6, which overturned and came to rest on its side around 9:20 AM. Emergency responders quickly arrived at the scene to manage traffic and ensure safety.
Due to the collision, lane closures were implemented on the westbound side near Los Alamos, leading to traffic delays and congestion for motorists in the area. The right-hand shoulder was affected, but the main lanes remained open, allowing some traffic to flow while emergency crews worked to clear the scene.
Multiple units were dispatched to the location, addressing a fluid leak from the vehicle. A tow truck was called to assist in removing the overturned Mazda6 from the roadway. By 10:15 AM, the second lane was reopened, alleviating some of the traffic backup that had formed.
Drivers are advised to remain cautious and expect potential delays as cleanup efforts continue. The California Highway Patrol is monitoring the situation to ensure a safe and efficient resolution to the traffic incident.
