A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred today on State Route 68 (SR-68) in Monterey, CA, impacting traffic flow during the afternoon commute. The incident involved a grey Toyota and a grey Nissan Rogue SUV, both of which were able to be moved to the right-hand side of the roadway.
The collision took place near 1125 Morse Drive, leading to lane restrictions in the right lane of eastbound SR-68. Emergency services responded quickly to the scene to manage traffic and ensure safe passage for other vehicles.
As a result of the collision, motorists may have experienced delays and congestion in the area. The right lane remained restricted for a period, which likely contributed to backups on the surrounding roadways.
Traffic management efforts were implemented to facilitate the flow of vehicles and minimize disruption. A tow truck was not required, as both vehicles were drivable and safely moved away from the main traffic flow.
Drivers are advised to remain cautious and aware of changing road conditions while navigating through Monterey, CA. The California Highway Patrol is monitoring the situation to ensure safety for all road users.
