A traffic collision on Janesville Grade in Janesville, CA, caused notable disruptions today. The incident, occurring around 5:08 PM, involved a single vehicle—a tractor hauling a chip truck. The collision resulted in the uphill side of the roadway being partially blocked, while the eastbound lane remained open for traffic.
Emergency response units arrived quickly to manage the scene and control traffic flow. They worked to clear the area and address potential hazards, including fluid on the asphalt reported shortly after the collision.
As a result of the traffic incident, drivers experienced delays and possible congestion in the area. Although the eastbound lane was accessible, the blockage on the uphill side likely contributed to some backup as vehicles navigated around the scene.
